About Facebook Page Video Downloader
Need to pull videos from a public Facebook Page for a project? This actor is your go-to. It's a straightforward scraper that visits any public Facebook Page you specify, systematically works through its video section, and grabs the video files. It handles pagination automatically, meaning it won't stop after the first page—it'll keep going to collect the entire video library, which is perfect when you need a complete dataset. Everything gets saved into a clean, structured Apify dataset, ready for you to export as JSON, CSV, or other formats. I use it for things like gathering video content for competitive analysis, pulling clips for a research paper, or creating a personal archive of content from pages I follow. It saves you the hours of manual clicking and copying. Just plug in the page URL, run it, and come back to your organized data.
