Compare Facebook Posts Scraper Side by Side

Need to compare facebook posts scraper across targets? Thirdwatch's Facebook Posts Scraper turns it into structured rows — the fields you need, ready to export.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why Compare side by side works

Put the same fields side by side for every target — the deltas are where decisions happen. This guide shows the configuration that pulls facebook posts scraper data from Facebook Posts Scraper.

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Manual copy-paste works for a handful of rows; dedicated per-site scrapers on other platforms either gate the same data behind sign-in or charge flat monthly fees regardless of usage.

Why this Actor

• Purpose-built for Facebook Posts Scraper — no generic crawling config to tune
• Pay-per-result pricing — you pay only for rows that come back
• Structured output ready for JSON/CSV export or API consumption
• No login, cookies, or API keys needed for the public surfaces it reads

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — mode takes the targets, and the optional fields bound the run size.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per record.

Step 3: Use the output

Every row carries the fields shown in the sample — export as JSON, CSV, or feed it straight into your pipeline.

{
  "pageUrls": [
    "https://www.facebook.com/nasa"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10
}

Each dataset row looks like:

  "record_type": "post",
  "post_id": "1639114777583892",
  "post_url": "https://www.facebook.com/NASA/posts/pfbid02FDWE6z2u4MfbHnirq8BdWUYtYi1cdDNEiayPTquFJDjCKi92ULJoWM5Q3U7e94Ddl",

What to watch for

Rate the targets reasonably — large batches benefit from modest concurrency. Source sites may throttle heavy bursts; retry once and widen filters if a target surface is thin.
