📥 Input

{
  "categories": ["Restaurant"],
  "locations": ["Austin"],
  "searchType": "pages",
  "resultsLimit": 10
}

Search several terms and places in one run:

{
  "categories": ["Coffee", "Bakery"],
  "locations": ["Berlin", "Hamburg"],
  "searchType": "pages",
  "resultsLimit": 50

📤 Output

One dataset row per result. Page rows include the name, URL, profile image, verification flag, and the description shown in search. Profile rows use the same fields and add a bio when Facebook shows one. Post rows include the post id, text, publish time, author, reactions, and media. Reel rows include the caption, author, duration, and public counts when the reel page exposes them. Pages - Google search rows are the public page itself: title, categories, followers, phone, email, address, website, rating, and ad status.

Posts, reels, and Pages - Google search rows add their own fields on top of this shape, so check the dataset table view for the columns of the search type you picked.

💰 Pricing

$0.003 per result saved, which is $3.00 per 1,000 results, plus platform usage for compute and proxy traffic (datacenter proxy traffic is $1 per GB). A run with no matching rows does not charge a result fee.

Worked example: a 10-result search is about $0.03 in result fees, plus the platform usage of the run.

❓ FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Facebook search? The actor only reads publicly available results without logging in. You are responsible for how you use the data and for following local law and platform terms.

Do I need a Facebook account or a proxy? No account. A datacenter proxy is configured by default.

How many results can I get? As many as you set for the whole run. Facebook ends a logged-out search after a few hundred results per keyword, so add more keywords or locations to get more rows.

What does a location do? Each search term runs once per location. Facebook search receives the place as a filter. Pages - Google search adds the place to the Google query.

Which search type includes phone and email? Pages - Google search. Pages and profile search return the fields shown on the search result, not the full about section.

What if a field is empty? Facebook does not show every field for every result, so some fields can be empty or missing on a given row.

Can I schedule it or use the API? Yes, through schedules in the console or the API.

⚠️ Limits

• One search type per run.
• Facebook ends a logged-out search after a few hundred results per keyword. In tests one keyword returned about 330 pages, 280 posts, and 100 reels; profiles reached the old 1,000 cap. Add more keywords or locations to get more rows. The run status says when Facebook had no more results.
• Reels are filled from each reel's page, which adds about 1 MB of proxy traffic per reel.
• Public results only. Private posts, friends-only profiles, and ads are not returned.
• Profile images and media URLs are CDN links and expire.
• Pages - Google search depends on a Google search service and is less reliable than the other search types. If it is unavailable the run falls back to a single browser session and can stop when throttled. Use pages for the most dependable results.
• Reaction and comment counts on reels are the public numbers; view and share counts may be abbreviated figures.
• A small run takes roughly 9 to 13 seconds because the search starts a fresh session.
