About Facebook Comments Scraper | Webhook Support

Need to pull comments from Facebook for a project? This scraper handles the messy part for you. Just give it a URL—whether it's a video, a standard post, a photo, or a Reel—and it fetches the comment data. I've used it to track what people are saying about product launches and brand mentions; it saves you from the mind-numbing work of copying and pasting or building a scraper from scratch. The built-in webhook support is a game-changer for automation. You can set it up to send fresh comment data directly to your app or dashboard the moment it's collected, which is perfect for keeping a real-time pulse on engagement. It's genuinely useful for teams who need to analyze conversation trends, monitor customer sentiment, or gather raw insights for market research. You get structured data (like usernames, comment text, timestamps, and reactions) delivered in a clean format, ready for your analysis tools. It just works, letting you focus on what the data means instead of how to get it.

Documentation

Facebook Comments Scraper – Webhook Support

This Apify actor scrapes comments from public Facebook content—including posts, photos, reels, and videos—and can automatically send the structured data to a webhook endpoint. It's built for automated data collection and integration.

Key Features

  • Broad Content Support: Extracts comments from Facebook posts, stories, reels, photos, and videos.
  • Webhook Integration: Optionally sends the scraped comment dataset directly to a specified API endpoint upon completion.
  • Structured Output: Returns detailed data for each comment, including author information, timestamps, text, and reactions.
  • Batch Processing: Accepts multiple Facebook URLs in a single run.
  • Compatible Suite: Works alongside other Apify actors for comprehensive Facebook data collection:

How to Use

  1. Prepare Input: Provide the actor with a list of public Facebook URLs. Supported URL formats include:
    • Posts/Stories: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=xxxx&id=xxxx
    • Reels: https://web.facebook.com/reel/xxxxxx
    • Photos: https://web.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=xxxx&set=xxxxx
    • Videos: https://web.facebook.com/watch?v=xxxxx
  2. (Optional) Set Webhook: Configure a webhook URL in the actor's input if you want the results delivered automatically to your server.
  3. Run: Start the actor. It will crawl each URL, extract all available comments, and output the data.

Input & Output

Input: A list of Facebook content URLs via the Apify platform (e.g., in a dataset or directly in the input configuration).

Output: A structured dataset (typically JSON) containing an array of comment objects. Each object includes fields such as:
* authorName
* authorUrl
* text
* timestamp
* reactions
* commentUrl

If a webhook URL is provided, this dataset is sent as a POST request to that endpoint upon successful run completion.
