About Facebook comment scraper

Need to pull comments from Facebook for research, analysis, or community insights? This Facebook comment scraper is built to handle exactly that. It extracts the comment text, along with the commenter's name and profile link, from public posts. You can point it at posts from a user profile, a public page, or a group you're a member of—just provide the specific post URLs. I use it for a few key things: tracking brand sentiment by seeing what people are really saying about a product launch, gathering user feedback from community discussions, or conducting academic research on social media trends. It saves you the impossible manual task of copying and pasting hundreds of comments. The setup is straightforward. You feed it the Facebook post links, and it returns structured data, typically as a JSON or CSV file, ready for your analysis in a spreadsheet or data visualization tool. It respects Facebook's public data policies and is designed for ethical scraping of publicly available information. If you need to understand the conversation happening around any public Facebook content, this scraper turns a chaotic comment section into organized, actionable data.
