(Trimmed: image and photo links are shortened here and the row also carries facebookId and pageAdLibrary.) A page that does not exist, or whose photos need a login, returns one row with error set to not_available. Missing pages are not charged.

💰 Pricing

You pay $0.001 per photo saved, which is $1.00 per 1,000 photos. Platform usage (compute and proxy) is billed on top.

Worked example: 10 photos cost 10 × $0.001 = $0.01 in events plus about $0.002 of platform usage, around $0.012 in total.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Facebook photos?

The actor only reads what is publicly visible without logging in. You are responsible for respecting copyright, privacy law, and Facebook's terms when you use the images.

Do I need a login or a proxy?

No login or cookies. Datacenter proxy is built in and used by default.

Can I scrape albums, tagged photos, or a single photo URL?

Not reliably. Album, tagged-photo, and single-photo URLs that redirect to a login page come back as an error row. Use the page or profile URL.

How many photos can I get?

As many as you set per URL, limited by how many photos the page shows publicly.

What if a field is empty?

The caption or size can be missing for some photos. Those fields are then null or left out.

Can I schedule it or use the API?

Yes, from the console or through the API.

⚠️ Limits

• Public pages and profiles only.
• Albums, tagged photos, and single-photo URLs that need a login are not supported.
• A public page with zero photos returns an empty dataset.
• Image URLs on Facebook's CDN can expire, so download the files if you need to keep them.
• A 10-photo run takes about 6 seconds including startup.
• Facebook can change its pages at any time, which may cause occasional gaps.
