Facebook Group Post Scraper
Extract structured post data from public Facebook group URLs: post text, permalinks, timestamps, authors, engagement counters, media references, optional top comments, and Marketplace listing signals.
Built for monitoring public group activity
Use provided Facebook group URLs as the source of truth, then filter, monitor, export, and automate the resulting post dataset.
Keyword filtering
Filter extracted posts within the provided groups by phrase, date window, sorting mode, and maximum item count.
Comments and engagement
Include top comments when exposed in the group payload and track likes, shares, comment counts, and reaction breakdowns.
Marketplace signals
Detect group posts that reference Marketplace listings and optionally enrich listing title, price, location, and status.
Incremental monitoring
Use monitoring mode with a stable state key to emit new and updated posts for recurring workflows.
Automation delivery
Send results to Apify datasets, webhooks, Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, and MCP connected apps.
Clean records for analysis
Outputs are designed for dashboards, alerts, spreadsheets, CRMs, and AI workflows that need stable fields rather than copied page text.

- Engagement: comments, shares, likes, reaction breakdowns.
- Comments: top-level comment IDs, authors, text, and comment URLs when available.
- Marketplace: listing status, title, price, location, coordinates, and item URL when detected.
