Facebook Page Post & Comment Scraper

Facebook Page scraper for any public Page link: Page names, numeric ids, profile.php?id=, /p/, /pages/ and /people/ links, mobile links, and links to a Page's own posts. Paste the links, click Start, and get one row per post with the text, the time, the reactions, the comments count, the shares, the views, the photos and the videos.

Before you start: it reads a Page's feed, not one single post. A link to a post gives you the newest posts of that post's Page. Groups, reels, share links and private or login-only Pages are not supported.

Also included: reactions by type, up to 100 comments per post with their replies, video captions as text, date filters, only new posts on repeat runs so you don't pay twice for the same post, and a live status line on the run page.

💵 Follow a Page daily and save money: get only new posts

Run it every day and pay only for new posts. Turn on Only new posts for the next run and each run skips the posts you already have. Normal runs read the same posts again and charge you again.

Example: one Page with 5 new posts a day, checked daily for 30 days, Number of Posts at 100, Free plan	Results	Cost with start fees
Normal runs	3,000	$7.80
With Only new posts	245	about $0.91

Set it up once:

1. Paste the Page link and turn on Only new posts for the next run.
2. Set Number of Posts higher than the new posts you expect between two runs.
3. Click Save as a new task, then add a schedule. Daily suits most Pages; hourly suits a busy news Page.

What you can do with it

• Follow what competitors post, and which posts get the most reactions, comments and shares.
• Watch brands, news Pages or public figures on a schedule and pay only for new posts.
• Collect posts from a set date range for research or reports.
• Turn video captions and comments into text for a spreadsheet, a sentiment tool or an AI workflow.

How to use it

1. Paste your links into Facebook Page URLs, one per line.

2. Set Number of Posts, the most posts to get from each Page. Start with 10 to see the data.

3. Optional: add dates, comments or video captions.

4. Click Start. The status line at the top of the run shows each step:

   Status line	What is happening
   Checking links: 3 of 10	Each link is checked: is it a public Page?
   Reading posts: 2 of 5 Pages done, 340 results so far	Posts are being collected. Results appear in the Output tab as they arrive.
   Done: 240 posts from 4 of 5 links. 1 link could not be opened (private, deleted, or not a Page). The Log tab lists them.	The run is finished, with what it got and why any link gave nothing.

5. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Need every comment on one post? Copy its post.url into the Facebook Comment Scraper. For posts in public groups, use the Facebook Group Post Scraper.

How much does it cost?

You pay for each post in your dataset. Each post is one result. Apify's platform costs are included.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 posts
Free	$2.50
Starter	$1.99
Scale	$1.70
Business and higher	$1.50

Each run also has a start fee of $0.01 per GB of memory. Memory is set from the number of links: 1 GB for up to 39 links, 2 GB for 40 to 79, and 4 GB for 80 or more, so the fee is $0.01 to $0.04 unless you change the memory.

Comments, replies and video captions sit inside the post's row, so they add no results and cost nothing extra today.

You collect, on the Free plan	Cost
50 posts from each of 10 Pages (500 posts)	$1.25 + $0.01 start fee
40 posts from each of 45 Pages (at most 1,800 posts)	at most $4.50 + $0.02 start fee
2,000 posts, the amount Apify's free $5 a month covers	about $5

Four ways to keep the bill under control:

• Number of Posts: the most posts per Page. The most a run can give is postsToScrape x links.
• Dates: postsNewerThan stops reading at your date, so old posts are never paid for.
• Only new posts: see the next section.
• Maximum cost per run: set it in the run options (maxTotalChargeUsd in the API). This is the most the run may charge you. Results already collected stay in your dataset.

More about only new posts

• First run: posts as usual, up to Number of Posts.
• Every next run: only posts published since your last run. Reading stops at your last post, so the run also ends sooner.
• No new posts: 0 results and no result fee, only the small start fee. The status line says so.
• A run fails partway: your place is kept, so the next run still picks up those posts.

When it is worth using:

• Competitor watch: see each new post without paying for the old ones.
• Brand or news monitoring: collect what a Page publishes, day by day.
• A growing archive: add only the new rows to your sheet, with no duplicates to clean.
• Daily AI summaries: send only today's posts to your AI workflow.

Good to know:

• Turn it on from the first run. Runs with the option off do not save your place.
• Keep Number of Posts high enough. You get the newest posts first. If a Page publishes 50 new posts and Number of Posts is 10, you get the newest 10, your place moves to the newest post, and the other 40 are not returned later.
• Your place is saved per Apify account and per Page. Different links to the same Page share it.
• Your place is saved when a Page finishes. If a run stops in the middle of a Page, the next run reads from the last saved place, so those posts come back and are charged again.
• New comments on old posts are not returned. Old posts are not read again.
• It works together with postsNewerThan. A post must pass both. It cannot be used with postsOlderThan.

What you give it

{
  "pageUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/natgeo/",
    "https://www.facebook.com/10643211755/"
  ],
  "postsToScrape": 50,
  "postsNewerThan": "7 days",
  "includeTopComment": true
}

Field	Default	What it does
pageUrls	required	Facebook links, always as a list, even for one link.
postsToScrape	100	The most posts to get from each Page.
postsNewerThan	empty	Only posts from a recent period or date: 30 minutes, 24 hours, 7 days, 3 months, or 2026-10-01.
postsOlderThan	empty	Only posts up to a date or age, in the same formats. A date includes that whole day in UTC. Use both for a date range.
onlyNewPosts	off	Only posts published since your last run on that Page. See the section above.
includeTopComment	on	Add the top comment of each post.
fetchAllComments	off	Add up to 100 top-level comments per post, in Facebook's "All comments" order. They replace the top comment.
fetchCommentReplies	off	Also add the replies to those comments, at every level. Needs fetchAllComments. Runs take longer.
includeTranscript	off	Add the video captions as text, when the video has them.

With postsOlderThan, Facebook usually starts the feed at your date. When it does not, the newer posts are loaded first to reach the date. Those posts are not returned, and they make the run longer.

Links it accepts: facebook.com/<name>, facebook.com/<number>, profile.php?id=<number>, /p/<name>-<number>/, /pages/<name>/<number>, /people/<name>/<number>, m. and web. versions, links with no https://, links with ?locale= or ?ref=, and links to a Page's tabs or posts such as /<name>/videos/ or /<name>/posts/<id>. Tabs and post links give you that Page's newest posts.

What you get back

One row per post. This is a real row from a run on 6 November 2026, with the commenter's details hidden and long links shortened:

Fields with no value come back as null, [] or an empty object. Counts are live and can change between runs.

When you get few or no results

The status line tells you how each link ended, and the Log tab names the Pages that failed. Links that give nothing add no rows to your dataset and no result fee.

What you see	What it means	What to do
1 link could not be opened (private, deleted, or not a Page)	No public Page was found. The Page may be deleted, renamed, or limited by age or country, or the link is a group, reel or share link.	Open the link in a private browser window. If you can see the Page there, run it again.
1 link is not a Facebook link	The link is not on facebook.com.	Fix the link.
1 Page had no posts to show	The Page is public and shows a logged-out visitor no posts.	Nothing to fix.
1 Page had no posts in your dates	Nothing was published inside your dates.	Widen the dates.
1 Page had no new posts since your last run	With onlyNewPosts, nothing new.	Nothing to fix.
1 Page gave fewer posts because Facebook stopped showing more	Facebook stopped giving more posts partway. The posts read before that are kept.	Run it again.
1 Page could not be read	The Page was found, but Facebook gave no posts.	Run it again.
Stopped: ...	The input has a problem, and the message says which. No Page was read.	Fix the input and run again.
Fewer posts than you asked for, and none of the lines above	The Page has fewer posts, or fewer inside your dates.	Nothing to fix.
One or two posts differ between two runs	Facebook gives logged-out visitors a slightly different set each time. Two runs at the same moment differed by 3 to 4% in our tests.	Nothing to fix.
No Done line, and the run shows Timed out	It reached the run timeout. Results read so far stay in your dataset.	Raise the timeout and run again.

What it does not do

• Pages, not single posts or groups. A post link gives you that Page's feed. For one post's comments use the Comment Scraper, and for groups use the Group Post Scraper.
• No reel, photo, watch or share links. Use the Page's own link instead.
• Public content only. Private, deleted, login-only, and age or country limited Pages give no posts, and the other links still run.
• Personal profiles are not reliable. A public profile link can work, but the number of posts changes from run to run.
• At most 100 top-level comments per post. For every comment on a post, use the Comment Scraper. There is no limit on replies per comment.
• It does not remove duplicates between links. Two links to the same Page are read and charged twice.
• It gives links to photos and videos, not the files.
• A run has a time limit. The default is 1 hour. At the speed measured on one big Page, one hour reads about 6,600 to 7,800 posts. Raise the timeout for more. If the timeout is reached, the results collected so far stay in your dataset.
• No email or phone numbers. Commenters' contact details are not returned.
• It is not an official Facebook tool. theDoor is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Facebook or Meta.

Questions people ask

Why did I get fewer posts than I asked for? The Page has fewer posts, fewer fall inside your dates, or Facebook stopped showing more to a logged-out visitor. The status line says which. See When you get few or no results.

Can I get posts from a date range? Yes. Set postsNewerThan to 2026-09-01 and postsOlderThan to 2026-09-30. Both days are included, in UTC.

Do comments count as results? No. They sit inside the post's row, so 3 posts with 23 comments are 3 results.

Can I run it every day? Yes. Save a task, add a schedule and turn on onlyNewPosts. See the section above.

Can I call it from code, Make, n8n or an AI agent? Yes. The API tab has Python, JavaScript and HTTP examples. In Python:

# pip install apify-client
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("thedoor/facebook-page-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "pageUrls": ["https://www.facebook.com/natgeo/"],
        "postsToScrape": 50,
    },
    max_total_charge_usd=0.50,  # the most this run may spend
)
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row["created"]["time"], row["engagement"]["reactions"], (row["post"]["text"] or "")[:80])

Is it legal? It reads only public content. Posts, comments and author names can be personal data under GDPR and similar laws, so collect them only for a clear reason and keep only what you need.
