How it works

Cookies Support: To view most of the Facebook profiles, you need to be logged in. This scraper allows you to input cookies to use your Facebook account session information to scrape profiles on behalf of you

Scalability and Performance: The actor is built on the Apify platform, which ensures scalability and excellent performance. It utilizes parallel processing to scrape multiple pages simultaneously, maximizing efficiency and minimizing the overall scraping time.

Safety of facebook account When using cookies for scraping, Scraper uses fixed proxy, disables parallel scraping and enables random delays to ensure the safety of your Facebook account. The cookies will be used only for profiles which require you to login to view them

Data Export and Integration: Once the scraping process is complete, you can easily export the extracted data in various formats such as JSON, CSV, or Excel. This allows for seamless integration with other tools and platforms for further analysis and utilization.

Automatic Retry and Error Handling: In case of temporary issues like network failures or timeouts, the actor has built-in automatic retry functionality. It intelligently handles errors to ensure a smooth and uninterrupted scraping experience.
