Public Facebook data, without a Facebook account
Eight tools that turn public Facebook, Google, LinkedIn and YouTube pages into clean JSON or CSV. No login, no cookies, no browser extension. You pay per record, and only for records you actually get.
Facebook Events Scraper
Search events by keyword or city, or point it at an event, a page or an explore URL. Returns the name, start and end time in UTC, the venue with coordinates, the description, ticket links, the organizer, and how many people are going. Recurring events come back with every one of their dates, not just the next one. Optionally it adds the organizer's public contact email.
Open the scraperFacebook Pages Scraper
Give it page URLs and get back the business behind them: name, category, email, phone, website and address, likes, followers, rating and review count, price range, opening status, the full About text and the page's recent posts. Public profiles also return work, education and location.
Open the scraperFacebook Posts Scraper
Posts from any public page or profile with text, links, photos, videos and reels, the reaction breakdown by type, comment and share counts, the top comments and co-authors. Date filters stop the run as soon as it reaches posts you already have, so a daily job stays cheap.
Open the scraperFacebook Comments Scraper
Every comment and reply under a public post: the text, who wrote it, when, how many likes it got, and a parent link on each reply so you can rebuild the thread exactly instead of guessing from indentation. Useful for sentiment work, support triage, and settling comment giveaways.
Open the scraperFacebook Ads Library Scraper
Search the Meta Ad Library by keyword, advertiser page or URL and get every ad as a row: ad copy, creatives, call to action, landing page, dates, platforms, and on request the EU reach by age, gender and country plus the advertiser's details. Same fields as the official Facebook Ads Scraper.
Open the scraperWhy these and not the others
They read only what Facebook shows a visitor who is not signed in. No account is involved, so there is nothing of yours to get restricted, and no cookies to paste from your browser. That also keeps the data on the right side of Meta v. Bright Data, where a US court held that Meta's terms do not bar scraping public data while logged out.
Output field names match the official Apify scrapers, so switching means changing an Actor ID and nothing else. Each one runs on the Apify platform, which handles scheduling, storage, the API, webhooks and integrations with Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets.

Using the data responsibly
These tools collect public information, but public does not mean unregulated. A named person's email is personal data under the GDPR, and the fact that a business published it does not give you a licence to send unsolicited bulk mail. Keep a lawful basis for what you collect, honour opt-outs, and read the local anti-spam rules before you send anything.
