Cheap, normalized public-profile scraping for Facebook — one clean record per handle.

What it does

Give it a list of Facebook handles (or profile URLs); it returns one normalized record per handle: profile identity, follower/engagement counts, external links, profile-picture URL (+ sha256 if downloaded), and platform-specific extras under platformData. Status is always one of ok | not_found | private | restricted | error.

Input

Transport & cost

• Transport: residential proxy (required).
• Cost: ~$0.013/1k live, ~$0.050/1k dead. Comparable Apify actors charge around $6.00 / 1,000.
• Default cheap (head-only): identity, picture, likes. Set fullPage=true for category + phone/WhatsApp/address/website (~$0.91/1k).

Pricing (pay-per-result)

• Recommended: $0.55 per 1,000 results ($0.00055 / result).
• Cost to run ≈ $0.11/1k → this is ~5x markup (set to undercut the market where needed).
• Incumbent comparison: $6.00/1k.
