What are Facebook Posts
Effective communication on Facebook allows businesses to gain visibility and awareness. Posts must be relevant, catchy, and frequent to generate engagement from fans, including likes, comments, and shares.
Scraping Bot will allow you to extract data from Facebook posts. You just need to enter the URL of a Facebook post to extract the following data:
- URL
- Sponsored or not
- Date
- Text of the post
- Media URL
- Number of views (videos)
- Number of likes
- Number of comments
- Comments
- Number of shares
- Scraping time
Why should you scrape Facebook Posts
