Scrape public Facebook posts by search query. Extracts post content, engagement metrics, and metadata.

Key Features

• Bulk search – Multiple queries or URLs in one run
• Proxy fallback – No proxy by default; auto-fallback to datacenter → residential on block
• Live saving – Results saved as they’re scraped
• Retry logic – 3 retries with exponential backoff

Input

Example input:

{
"searchQueries":["football","cricket"],
"maxPosts":50,
"postTimeRange":"",
"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":false}
}

Output

Each post includes:

• facebookUrl, pageId, pageName – Page info
• postId, url, topLevelUrl – Post identifiers
• time, timestamp – Post date
• likes, comments, shares – Engagement
• text, link, thumb – Content
• searchQuery – Query that matched

How to Use

1. Open Apify Console → Actors
2. Select facebook-posts-search-scraper
3. Set inputs (queries, max posts, proxy)
4. Run the actor
5. View results in the OUTPUT tab
6. Export as JSON or CSV

Proxy Behavior

• Default: No proxy
• On block: Datacenter proxy (SHADER)
• If still blocked: Residential proxy with 3 retries
• After fallback: Remaining requests use the new proxy

• Data is from public sources only
• You are responsible for legal compliance (privacy, ToS, etc.)
