About Facebook Comments Scraper (PPR)💬

Need to pull comments from a public Facebook post for a project? I've been there. This scraper gets the job done without the fuss. It extracts the actual comment text, along with the practical data you really need: the number of likes on each comment, how many replies it spawned, and a clean timestamp. I use it to grab everything in one go, then get out. The data lands in a structured format that's ready to analyze, so you're not wasting hours cleaning it up. It's become my go-to for a few key things: gauging public sentiment on a topic, tracking how an influencer's audience engages, or just spotting early trends in a discussion. When you're done, you can pull your dataset as JSON for an API, a CSV for a spreadsheet, or Excel and HTML for a report. It's straightforward, reliable, and saves a ton of manual work.
