โ“ FAQ

Can I export Facebook Posts data using API?

Yes, you can access the extracted Facebook data through the Apify API. You'll need an Apify account and your API token (available under Integrations settings in Console). Apify API is organized around RESTful HTTP endpoints that enable you to manage, schedule, and run Apify actors. The API also lets you access any datasets, monitor actor performance, fetch results, create and update versions, and more. To access the API using Node.js, use the apify-client NPM package. To access the API using Python, use the apify-client PyPI package.

Click on the API tab for code examples or check out the Apify API reference docs for full detail.

Can I use Facebook Posts Scraper through an MCP server?

With Apify API, you can use Facebook Posts Scraper within your AI workflows. You can connect to the MCP server using clients like ClaudeDesktop and LibreChat or build your own. Here's how you can set up Facebook Posts Scraper via Model Context Protocol (MCP) server:

  1. Start a Server-Sent Events (SSE) session to receive a sessionId.
  2. Send API messages using that sessionId to trigger the scraper.
  3. The message starts the Facebook Posts Scraper with the provided input.
  4. The response should be: Accepted.

This makes Facebook Posts Scraper compatible with Facebook MCP server implementations and allows you to use it as a Facebook post extractor within your AI agent workflows.

Is there a difference between scraping a Facebook profile and Facebook page?

Yes, there is. Facebook Pages are created for businesses, companies, non-profits, and other social causes. Those are the Facebook accounts that strive to provide "public-first" content and are often managed by a group of people. An easy way to distinguish between a Facebook profile and a Facebook page is that pages usually have a category of content and activity they would like to be associated with (news, software, hospitality, etc.) Facebook Pages that are particularly popular often include a blue verification badge. Facebook profiles are created for personal use.

This scraper can extract information from both Facebook pages and Facebook profiles.

Do I need proxies to scrape data from Facebook posts?

You need proxies in general but you don't need to do anything extra to apply them if you run the scraper on the Apify platform. For successful scraping of Facebook posts, we run residential proxies in the background which are included in Apify's monthly Starter plan ($29).

Can I integrate data from Facebook Posts Scraper with other apps?

Yes. Facebook Posts Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate with Make, Zapier, ChatGPT, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Sheets, Asana, Google Drive, Keboola, MCP Servers, and more.

Is it legal to scrape Facebook Posts data?

Our Facebook scrapers are ethical and do not extract any private user data. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so.

If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping and ethical scraping.

Facebook Posts Scraper is not working?

We're always working on improving the performance of our Actors. So if you've got any technical feedback for Facebook Posts Scraper or simply found a bug, please create an issue on the Actor's Issues tab.
