About Facebook Reviews Scraper
Need to see what people are really saying about a business on Facebook? This scraper pulls all the public reviews from any Facebook page you choose, giving you the raw, unfiltered customer feedback that star ratings alone can't show. It collects every review's text, the date it was posted, and a direct link back to it. You also get the number of likes and comments on each review, plus basic public info about the reviewer. Run it for a single page or batch process several at once to gather data from hundreds of reviews in one go. I use this to get a clear picture of customer sentiment for market research and competitive analysis. The data exports cleanly to JSON, CSV, or Excel, so you can drop it straight into your own apps, spreadsheets, or reports without any formatting headaches. It's straightforward and does exactly what you need: turning Facebook's public review sections into structured, usable data.
