👥 Facebook Search Scraper

🚀 Find Facebook pages for any keyword in seconds. Get 18 fields per page including likes, followers, category, description, address, phone, website, profile picture, and verified status. No login, no API key, no Meta Developer account.

The Facebook Search Scraper discovers Facebook pages matching any search keyword and enriches each hit with public metadata pulled directly from the page. Search goes through an external index, then the scraper visits each matching Facebook URL to extract likes, followers, profile picture, cover photo, category, description, and contact details (address, phone, website) when available in JSON-LD markup.

Concurrent enrichment keeps throughput high and the output consistent. Feed a brand name and get the top pages; feed a product category and discover every public Facebook brand operating in it. Works on pages, public groups, and public events.

📋 What the Facebook Search Scraper does

Six discovery workflows in a single run:

• 🔎 Keyword search. External search finds Facebook pages matching any query.
• 👍 Engagement metrics. Likes count and followers count extracted from each page.
• 🏢 Business data. Category, description, and verified status parsed from Open Graph and JSON-LD.
• 📞 Contact info. Address, phone, website pulled from JSON-LD when present.
• ⭐ Rating. Star rating and review count for pages that expose them publicly.
• 🖼️ Media. Profile picture and cover photo URLs for downstream embedding.

Each record includes the originating query, page URL, slug, rank position, and timestamp.

💡 Why it matters: finding Facebook pages at scale means bouncing between search engines and page-by-page audits. This Actor consolidates that into a single dataset with structured fields.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: address, category, coverPhotoUrl, description, followers, likes, members, name, pageId, profilePicUrl, query, rating, results, reviewCount, scrapedAt, type, url, verified. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Facebook blocks datacenter IPs for page reads. Always use Apify residential proxy on paid plans. Private groups and events are not discoverable, only public pages and public groups.
