Engagement
- Likes, comments and shares.
- Reaction breakdowns such as Love, Haha and Wow.
- Top comments, not the complete comment history.
Multiple PagesA URL list in the same run.
Flexible datesAbsolute or relative UTC ranges.
TranscriptsOptional for compatible videos.
Exact configuration

Account for the date add-on
Every delivered post with a filter adds another charge. Simulate it before running.
| Group | Observed fields | What they support |
|---|---|---|
| Source | facebookUrl, inputUrl, pageName, facebookId | Queried Page and provenance |
| Post | postId, url, topLevelUrl, time, timestamp, text | Content, date and identification |
| Engagement | likes, comments, shares, topReactionsCount and reaction counts | Compare visible performance |
| Context | user, collaborators, sharedPost, paidPartnership, pageAdLibrary | Authorship, collaboration and commercial signals |
| Media and links | media, link, textReferences, topComments | Creative assets, destinations and top comments |
Nested objects add more subfields. Media URLs may expire, and some counts can be absent or change.

Business questions
Three analyses that use the output well
Which publishing cadence performs?
Group by week and compare engagement per post, not only accumulated totals.
Which format receives more response?
Separate photo, video, link and text posts with media and metrics.
Which topics create conversation?
Classify text and treat top comments as a sample with explicit limitations.
Use public Pages and public content only
Do not use the data to profile people, harass users or make sensitive decisions. Respect terms, copyright and applicable law.
Frequently asked questions
Before scaling
Can I enter multiple Pages?
Yes. Add multiple objects to startUrls. The limit applies to the full run.
Does it extract every comment?
No. Post output includes counts and top comments. Use a dedicated comments Actor for complete comment collection.
Are video transcripts guaranteed?
No. captionText attempts extraction when the video and source support it, and it can increase runtime.
Why does a date filter cost more?
Apify monetizes it as an additional event for every delivered post where the filter is applied.
Can it search posts by keyword?
Not directly: it starts from Page URLs. Keyword discovery requires a Facebook search Actor.
First sample
Start with one Page and ten posts
