FAQ
Does this require a Facebook account or cookies? No. The actor scrapes publicly visible reviews on public business pages without login.
Why does Facebook use Recommended/Not Recommended instead of star ratings? Facebook changed its review system to a binary recommendation model in 2018. There are no 1–5 star ratings.
How many reviews can I get per page? Up to 500 reviews per page. Facebook's pagination becomes unreliable beyond this volume.
Why is a residential proxy required? Facebook aggressively detects and blocks datacenter IP addresses. Residential proxies provide real-user IP addresses that avoid detection. This is handled automatically by the actor using Apify's proxy infrastructure.
Will search mode always find the right business?
For common business names (e.g. "McDonald's"), the top result is usually correct. For precision, use url or pageId mode.
What if a page has no reviews?
An error record is pushed with "recordType": "error" and a description. No crash.
Are review photo URLs permanent?
Facebook CDN URLs expire after some time. Use the scrapedAt timestamp to track freshness.
Limitations
- 500 review cap per page — scraping beyond 500 is unreliable and costly
- Public pages only — private groups, user profiles, and Marketplace are not supported
- Sort selector targets English UI —
most_helpfulsort may not work on non-English Facebook interfaces - Search mode is best-effort — ambiguous queries may return incorrect page matches
