❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Facebook reviews? The actor reads only publicly visible reviews. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable law, Facebook's terms and privacy rules.

Do I need a Facebook account or proxy? No account. Proxies are included.

Why are there fewer reviews than the page shows? The count on the page includes reviews that are not public. The actor saves reviews that load without an account.

Which URLs work? A public page URL, with or without /reviews, including profile.php?id= links. A post URL, a group URL, or a link that is not Facebook is skipped.

What if a field is empty? comments and photos only appear on reviews that have them, and tags only when Facebook shows tags.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes. Use a schedule with the date filter to catch new reviews.

⚠️ Limits

• Public pages only; nothing is read from a private profile or a logged-in session.
• Facebook returns reviews a few at a time, newest first, so pages with thousands of reviews take a while.
• Comment text is the public preview attached to the review, not a full comment thread, and a comment total can differ by one from what a logged-in view shows.
• If a later page fails, reviews already saved are kept. A page that shows fewer public reviews than the limit ends early, and the status message says so.
• Picture URLs depend on Facebook's CDN host and expire.
