A Python library for scraping public Facebook pages, groups, profiles, and posts without requiring an API key. It provides a simple get_posts function with options for login credentials, cookies, pagination, and video extraction.
Use cases
- scrape facebook page posts without an api key
- extract posts from a facebook group
- collect facebook post reactions and comments for research
- download facebook video content from posts
- fetch posts by post url or id
- monitor a public facebook profile's posts
When to choose
- you need public Facebook data quickly without registering for API access
- you want a lightweight Python API rather than a full browser automation setup
- you need to scrape pages, groups, or individual posts with optional login via cookies or credentials
When to avoid
- you need to scrape private content or content behind login walls you do not control
- you require a fully supported, actively maintained tool - Facebook markup changes frequently and the project's last release was mid-2024
- you need to comply strictly with Facebook's terms of service, which prohibit scraping
