//Why Scrape.ly\\

Why teams scrape Facebook with Scrape.ly

One scraper per job

Fifteen focused scrapers instead of one that does everything halfway, each priced per result: $0.05 per 1,000 Ad Library ads, $1 per 1,000 Marketplace listings or group posts, $4.50 per 1,000 page posts.

No login, no account at risk

Every scraper reads public Facebook pages without your account or a session cookie, with proxies built in. Private profiles and private groups are never touched.

Schedules and webhooks

Save a page list or an Ad Library search as a task, run it daily or weekly, and get the dataset by webhook, API or straight into Google Sheets.

Ready for AI agents

Every scraper is a tool in the Scrape.ly MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can pull a page’s posts or an advertiser’s ads and summarize them in one conversation.

Can you scrape Facebook?

Yes, the public parts: page posts and reels, page details, public groups, comments, the Meta Ad Library, Marketplace, events and reviews. These scrapers need no login and never access private profiles, private groups or anything behind your account.

Does Facebook allow scraping?

Meta’s terms say you may not collect data from its products by automated means without its permission, and much of Facebook is personal data. Whether collecting publicly visible data is lawful depends on where you operate. Prefer page, ad and listing data, keep personal data to what you need with a lawful basis, and check the rules that apply to you.

What are the best Facebook scraping tools?

The one built for your data. For posts from pages, the Facebook Posts Scraper; for page contacts, the Pages Scraper; for ads, the Ad Library Scraper or the Ads Scraper (page and shop details); for listings, the Marketplace Scraper; for comments, groups, events, reels or reviews, the scraper named after them.

Is there a free Facebook scraper?

Yes. The Scrape.ly Free plan includes $5 of credit every month and needs no card. As of 24 October 2026 that is about 23,000 Ad Library ads, over 4,500 Marketplace listings or about 840 page posts, counting typical platform usage.

Can I scrape the Facebook Ad Library?

Yes. Paste an Ad Library search or an advertiser’s page into the Facebook Ad Library Scraper and choose country, status and sort. Each ad comes back with creative, start and end dates, platforms and its archive id.

Can I scrape Facebook Marketplace?

Yes. The Marketplace Scraper takes keywords and a city or any Marketplace link and returns price, location, condition, photo and listing date. Sellers are private people, so treat their names as personal data.

Is there a tool that can scrape Facebook accounts?

For Pages, the accounts businesses and brands run, yes: the Pages Scraper returns category, contact details, follower counts and ratings. Personal profiles only as far as they are public, and with care: the Posts Scraper reads public profile posts. Personal profiles are personal data, so collect them only with a lawful basis and never for unsolicited outreach.

Is this the Facebook Sharing Debugger?

No. Meta’s Sharing Debugger at developers.facebook.com/tools/debug re-reads one URL’s Open Graph tags to refresh its link preview on Facebook. The scrapers here collect public data from Facebook itself: posts, pages, groups, ads and listings.

Can I scrape Facebook with Python?

Yes. Install the Scrape.ly Python client, call any of these Actors with its input, and iterate over the dataset. The Python example on this page pulls Nike’s active US ads from the Ad Library.

//Responsible use\\

Is it legal to scrape Facebook?

These scrapers collect what Facebook shows a logged-out visitor: public page posts and details, public groups, comments, the Meta Ad Library, Marketplace listings, events and reviews. Ad Library entries and business pages are published to be seen; commenters, group members, followers, reactors and Marketplace sellers are people, so their data is personal data and our samples withhold their names. Respect Meta’s terms where they bind you, and use personal data in line with GDPR, CCPA and local rules.

This is general information, not legal advice. Read our guide to web scraping and the law and the Scrape.ly terms. Facebook is a trademark of its owner; Scrape.ly is not affiliated with it.
