With over 2.85 billion active users worldwide, Facebook is not just a social network \u2014 it is a powerful commercial platform where consumers connect directly with brands. In this guide, you will learn how to scrape Facebook profiles, organization pages, and posts using ScrapingBot's API, and get structured JSON data without any blocking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-toc\">\r\n    <p class=\"sb-toc-title\">Table of contents<\/p>\r\n    <ol>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#why-scrape\">Why use a Facebook scraper API?<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#what-data\">What data can the Facebook scraper API collect?<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#challenges\">Technical challenges of a Facebook scraper API<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#scrapingbot\">How ScrapingBot's Facebook scraper API handles them<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#step-by-step\">Step-by-step: build your Facebook scraper<\/a><\/li>\r\n      <li><a href=\"#further\">Going further<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <\/ol>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"why-scrape\">1. Why use a Facebook scraper API?<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Much more than a social network, Facebook has become a key commercial platform for businesses of all sizes \u2014 with over 2.85 billion active users generating data every day. As a result, using a Facebook scraper API gives you access to highly actionable data:<\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li>Track brand mentions and consumer sentiment at scale<\/li>\r\n    <li>Monitor competitor pages, follower growth, and engagement rates<\/li>\r\n    <li>Follow trends through post analysis across public pages<\/li>\r\n    <li>Generate leads from public business profiles and organization pages<\/li>\r\n    <li>Build market research datasets from public posts and comments<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n  <p>On top of that, Facebook's public data is rich and diverse \u2014 from profile details and post captions to likes, comments, and media URLs.<\/p>\r\n  <p>Consequently, web scraping is the most efficient way to collect all of this automatically at scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"what-data\">2. What data can the Facebook scraper API collect?<\/h2>\r\n  <p>ScrapingBot's <strong>Facebook scraper<\/strong> supports three types of data extraction. Below is a breakdown of what you get for each type:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Facebook Profiles<\/h3>\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Field<\/th><th>Description<\/th><th>Type<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>url<\/td><td>Profile URL<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>profilePicture<\/td><td>Profile picture URL<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>name<\/td><td>Profile display name<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>verified<\/td><td>Verified badge status<\/td><td>boolean<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>profileType<\/td><td>Type of profile<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>likes<\/td><td>Number of likes<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>followers<\/td><td>Number of followers<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>posts<\/td><td>Latest posts information<\/td><td>array<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Facebook Organization Pages<\/h3>\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Field<\/th><th>Description<\/th><th>Type<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>name<\/td><td>Organization name<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>verified<\/td><td>Verified badge status<\/td><td>boolean<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>likes<\/td><td>Number of likes<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>followers<\/td><td>Number of followers<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>story<\/td><td>About \/ story text<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>contact<\/td><td>Contact information<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>address<\/td><td>Physical address<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>website<\/td><td>External website URL<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>category<\/td><td>Business category<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>relatedPages<\/td><td>Related pages information<\/td><td>array<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Facebook Posts<\/h3>\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Field<\/th><th>Description<\/th><th>Type<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td>url<\/td><td>Post URL<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>sponsored<\/td><td>Whether the post is sponsored<\/td><td>boolean<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>date<\/td><td>Publication date<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>postText<\/td><td>Post caption text<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>mediaUrl<\/td><td>Media URL (image or video)<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>views<\/td><td>Number of views (videos only)<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>likes<\/td><td>Number of likes<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>comments<\/td><td>Number of comments + content<\/td><td>array<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>shares<\/td><td>Number of shares<\/td><td>integer<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td>scrapeTime<\/td><td>Timestamp of the scrape<\/td><td>string<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"challenges\">3. Technical challenges of a Facebook scraper API<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Facebook is one of the most heavily protected platforms against automated data collection. Before diving into the code, it is essential to understand what you would face trying to scrape it directly:<\/p>\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><strong>Strict API limits<\/strong> \u2014 Facebook's official API severely restricts the amount of data you can access, and getting your API key blocked is common.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Anti-bot detection<\/strong> \u2014 Facebook identifies headless browsers and blocks suspicious requests almost instantly.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>JavaScript rendering<\/strong> \u2014 Most page content loads dynamically; therefore, a plain HTTP request returns an empty shell.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Login walls<\/strong> \u2014 Many pages require authentication, adding another layer of complexity.<\/li>\r\n    <li><strong>Frequent layout changes<\/strong> \u2014 Meta regularly updates Facebook's front-end, which means scrapers that rely on HTML selectors break without warning.<\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"scrapingbot\">4. How ScrapingBot's Facebook scraper API handles them<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Bypassing protections automatically<\/h3>\r\n  <p>ScrapingBot's <strong>Facebook scraper<\/strong> abstracts all of this complexity. It rotates residential IPs automatically, handles JavaScript rendering, and manages authentication layers \u2014 so you get clean structured JSON without maintaining any browser automation infrastructure yourself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Two-step API pattern<\/h3>\r\n  <p>In addition, the API uses a two-step request pattern specifically designed to bypass social network protections. First, a POST call initiates the scraping job. Then, once the job is complete, a GET call retrieves the structured result. As a result, you can collect Facebook data reliably without worrying about bans or blocks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"step-by-step\">5. Step-by-step: build your Facebook scraper API<\/h2>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 1 \u2014 Create a ScrapingBot account<\/h3>\r\n  <p>To get started, ScrapingBot offers <strong>free access with 100 credits per month<\/strong> \u2014 no payment information required. Already have an account? Simply log in and head to the Documentation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 2 \u2014 First API call: get your Response ID<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Next, send a POST request to initiate the scraping job. The <code>scraper<\/code> parameter determines what type of Facebook data to extract:<\/p>\r\n  <pre><code>POST http:\/\/api.scraping-bot.io\/scrape\/data-scraper<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>Depending on what you want to scrape, use one of the following configurations:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n    <thead>\r\n      <tr><th>Scraper value<\/th><th>Parameter<\/th><th>Description<\/th><\/tr>\r\n    <\/thead>\r\n    <tbody>\r\n      <tr><td><code>facebookProfile<\/code><\/td><td><code>url<\/code><\/td><td>URL of the Facebook profile to scrape<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><code>facebookOrganization<\/code><\/td><td><code>url<\/code><\/td><td>URL of the Facebook organization page to scrape<\/td><\/tr>\r\n      <tr><td><code>facebookPost<\/code><\/td><td><code>url<\/code><\/td><td>URL of the Facebook post to scrape<\/td><\/tr>\r\n    <\/tbody>\r\n  <\/table>\r\n\r\n  <p>For example, to scrape a Facebook organization page, your request body would look like this:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>{\r\n  \"scraper\": \"facebookOrganization\",\r\n  \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/scrapingbot\"\r\n}<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n    <strong>\ud83d\udca1 Note:<\/strong> The <code>scraper<\/code> value must be exactly <code>facebookProfile<\/code>, <code>facebookOrganization<\/code>, or <code>facebookPost<\/code> \u2014 the API is case-sensitive.\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Step 3 \u2014 Second API call: retrieve your data<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Once you have your <code>responseId<\/code>, send a GET request to fetch the result:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>GET http:\/\/api.scraping-bot.io\/scrape\/data-scraper-response?responseId=YOUR_RESPONSE_ID&scraper=facebookOrganization<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>Should the scraping job still be running, you will receive a pending message:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>{ \"status\": \"pending\", \"message\": \"Scraping is not finished for this request, try again in a few\" }<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <p>In that case, retry the GET request after a few seconds. Most requests complete quickly in practice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Full Python example<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Finally, here is a complete Python script that handles both API calls and polls until the data is ready:<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <pre><code>import requests\r\nimport time\r\n\r\nUSERNAME = \"your_username\"\r\nAPI_KEY  = \"your_api_key\"\r\nAUTH     = (USERNAME, API_KEY)\r\n\r\nTARGET_URL = \"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/scrapingbot\"\r\n\r\n# Step 1 \u2014 Initiate the scraping job\r\npost_response = requests.post(\r\n    \"https:\/\/api.scraping-bot.io\/scrape\/data-scraper\",\r\n    json={\"scraper\": \"facebookOrganization\", \"url\": TARGET_URL},\r\n    auth=AUTH\r\n)\r\nresponse_id = post_response.json().get(\"responseId\")\r\nprint(f\"Response ID: {response_id}\")\r\n\r\n# Step 2 \u2014 Poll until the result is ready\r\nwhile True:\r\n    get_response = requests.get(\r\n        f\"https:\/\/api.scraping-bot.io\/scrape\/data-scraper-response\"\r\n        f\"?responseId={response_id}&scraper=facebookOrganization\",\r\n        auth=AUTH\r\n    )\r\n    data = get_response.json()\r\n\r\n    if data.get(\"status\") == \"pending\":\r\n        print(\"Pending... retrying in 3 seconds\")\r\n        time.sleep(3)\r\n    else:\r\n        print(\"Data retrieved:\")\r\n        print(data)\r\n        break<\/code><\/pre>\r\n\r\n  <h2 id=\"further\">6. Going further<\/h2>\r\n  <p>Once your <strong>Facebook scraper<\/strong> is up and running, you can pipe the raw data into a CSV with <a href=\"https:\/\/pandas.pydata.org\/docs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pandas<\/a>, store it in a database, or feed it into a market research dashboard.<\/p>\r\n  <p>Furthermore, combining profile, organization, and post scrapers lets you build a comprehensive social listening pipeline. Beyond Facebook, ScrapingBot also supports Instagram, Threads, LinkedIn, and many other platforms via the same API \u2014 ideal for a multi-source social data strategy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n    <p><strong>Ready to try it?<\/strong> Get 100 free credits when you sign up for ScrapingBot \u2014 no credit card required.<\/p>\r\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">Try ScrapingBot for free \u2192<\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n<style>\r\n.sb-article { max-width: 800px; margin: 0 auto; font-family: inherit; color: inherit; line-height: 1.7; }\r\n.sb-article h1 { font-size: 28px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 1.25rem; line-height: 1.3; }\r\n.sb-meta { display: flex; align-items: center; gap: 12px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; flex-wrap: wrap; }\r\n.sb-tag { background: #e6f1fb; color: #185fa5; font-size: 12px; padding: 4px 12px; border-radius: 6px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-read-time { font-size: 13px; color: #888; }\r\n.sb-intro { font-size: 16px; border-left: 3px solid #378add; padding-left: 1rem; color: #444; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc { background: #f8f8f8; border: 1px solid #e8e8e8; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1rem 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 2rem; }\r\n.sb-toc-title { font-size: 13px; font-weight: 600; color: #666; margin: 0 0 8px; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.05em; }\r\n.sb-toc ol { margin: 0; padding-left: 1.25rem; }\r\n.sb-toc li { font-size: 14px; padding: 3px 0; }\r\n.sb-toc a { color: #185fa5; text-decoration: none; }\r\n.sb-toc a:hover { text-decoration: underline; }\r\n.sb-article h2 { font-size: 22px; font-weight: 600; margin: 2.5rem 0 0.75rem; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article h3 { font-size: 17px; font-weight: 600; margin: 1.5rem 0 0.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article p { margin: 0 0 1rem; }\r\n.sb-article ul, .sb-article ol { margin: 0 0 1rem; padding-left: 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article li { margin-bottom: 6px; }\r\n.sb-article pre { background: #1e1e1e; color: #d4d4d4; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1.25rem; overflow-x: auto; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; }\r\n.sb-article code { font-family: 'Courier New', monospace; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.6; }\r\n.sb-article p code { background: #f4f4f4; padding: 2px 6px; border-radius: 4px; font-size: 13px; color: #c7254e; }\r\n.sb-table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; font-size: 14px; }\r\n.sb-table th { text-align: left; padding: 10px 14px; background: #f4f4f4; font-weight: 600; border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd; }\r\n.sb-table td { padding: 10px 14px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; }\r\n.sb-table tr:last-child td { border-bottom: none; }\r\n.sb-img-block { margin: 1.5rem 0 2rem; }\r\n.sb-screenshot { width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; border: 1px solid #ddd; box-shadow: 0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08); display: block; }\r\n.sb-img-caption { font-size: 13px; color: #888; margin-top: 0.5rem; text-align: center; font-style: italic; }\r\n.sb-note { background: #fffbea; border: 1px solid #f0e28a; border-radius: 8px; padding: 1rem 1.25rem; margin: 1rem 0 1.5rem; font-size: 14px; color: #5a4a00; }\r\n.sb-cta { background: #e6f1fb; border: 1px solid #b5d4f4; border-radius: 10px; padding: 1.5rem; margin: 2.5rem 0 0; text-align: center; }\r\n.sb-cta p { margin: 0 0 1rem; font-size: 15px; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn { display: inline-block; background: #185fa5; color: white; padding: 10px 24px; border-radius: 6px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; }\r\n.sb-cta-btn:hover { background: #0c447c; }\r\n<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ScrapingBot&#8217;s Facebook scraper API lets you collect public data from profiles, pages and posts in clean JSON \u2014 no blocking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5979,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-web-scraping-in-general"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Facebook Scraper API \u2014 Extract Data with ScrapingBot<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Scrape Facebook profiles, pages and posts with ScrapingBot&#039;s API.
