Facebook Account Suggestions Scraper

Overview

This actor programmatically discovers Facebook and Instagram advertiser accounts using keywords, business names, or usernames. It queries Meta's advertiser discovery endpoints to return structured data for ad intelligence, competitive analysis, and lead generation.

Key Features

• Dual-Platform Data: Fetches combined Facebook Page and Instagram Account metadata in a single output.
• Search Flexibility: Accepts search keywords, Instagram usernames, or Facebook page names as input.
• Structured Output: Returns clean, JSON-formatted data ready for analysis or database ingestion.
• Scalable Automation: Designed for bulk, automated discovery without manual Ads Library searching.

How to Use

1. Provide an input: a search keyword (e.g., "vuitton"), an Instagram username, or a Facebook page name.
2. (Optional) Configure ad type and country targeting filters.
3. The actor queries Meta's internal endpoints for advertiser suggestions.
4. Results are parsed, combining relevant Facebook and Instagram data into a unified JSON object for each suggested account.

Input/Output

Input: A list of search terms (keywords, usernames, or page names). You can optionally specify ad type (ALL, POLITICAL, NON_POLITICAL) and target country.

Output: A dataset of JSON objects. Each object contains:
* Facebook Page Data: Name, ID, username, category, profile image, follower/like count, verification status, page status, and country.
* Instagram Account Data: Username, follower count, and verification status.
* Search Context: The input keyword, requested ad type, and country target used for the discovery.
