"postTitle": "“I’ve been on forty first dates over the course of three years. And that’s not counting the hundred conversations on dating apps that didn’t go anywhere. So yeah— I thought meeting someone would be a little easier than this. Maybe the city is just a difficult place to date, or maybe it’s just how the apps are designed, but it’s a pretty cold environment, pretty emotionless. People don’t seem to put much emotion into the way they put themselves out there. There’s a lot of ghosting. It happens most often before you even get to the date. You’ll be trying to set something up, and the person falls off. But there are times when the date does happen, and you’ll think it went well, but when you follow up a few days later there’s no response. People seem to have this mentality that if they’ve just met someone online, they don’t owe them anything. And I agree with that to some extent. But I think you owe people the common decency to reject them. I don’t think it’s difficult to say: ‘I’m not interested.’ One time I’d been dating someone for a month-and-a-half. We’d just spent a weekend together in New Jersey, but when I texted him the next day he didn't respond ever again. Maybe I’m just too sensitive. A lot of people seem to be able to say: ‘If the person ghosted me, then they weren’t for me.’ But I end up feeling like I'm not interesting enough, or that there's something missing with me that people can sense, and that's why it never goes anywhere deeper. Maybe that’s my low self-esteem coming out. Maybe if I had higher self-esteem I wouldn’t take ghosting so badly. I’m still only 27, but I’m losing hope of actually finding someone. I'm so fed up with the interactions I’m having that I don't want to put myself out there as much. People keep disappointing me. So it’s like: ‘Is it really worth my peace to keep interacting with people?’ But I feel like I have to keep doing it. Because if I stop, then I'll get into this head space where I don't want to put myself out there again.’”",

You can export this data in JSON, JSONL, CSV, XML, Excel, or HTML.
### How many comments can it scrape?
You can expect to scrape **2,000–3,000 comments per post**, depending on the structure and visibility of the post. However, results vary due to:
- Post type (e.g. public post vs. private post)
- Facebook’s dynamic comment loading
- Pagination structure
- Geographic or login-based restrictions
The best way to know how much data you'll get is to **run a test scrape with your actual input**. More details on maximizing your scraping results in the ❓ [FAQ section](https://apify.com/apify/facebook-comments-scraper#faq).
### What is the best Facebook scraper?
Need to scrape more than comments? These tools are built for different scraping needs across Facebook:
add-on feature is billed separately.
