Facebook scraper API. Live data from any public Facebook link.

Get public posts, profiles, comments and more by link, handle or search, with posts in the same fields as on 20 other platforms. We handle the proxies, blocks and platform changes.

GET socialtap.dev/v1/facebook/post

What Facebook data can you get?

Public Facebook Pages and profiles, and their posts, reels and photos with exact reaction, comment and share counts. Get a Page's exact follower count, contact details and hours, the comments and replies on any public post, video transcripts, engagement rates, and public groups with their member counts, rules, admins and posts. Find posts, Pages, people and groups by keyword in a search engine's web results, and read each one live from Facebook on request. See also the Facebook Ad Library, Facebook Marketplace and Facebook Events APIs.

Why not the official Facebook API?

Reading Pages you don't manage through Meta's Graph API takes the Page Public Content Access feature, which needs App Review and business verification.

  • No approval to wait for

    One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.

  • Anything public

    Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.

  • No daily quota

    You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.

Call the Facebook API from your code.

Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Facebook Post Try in
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://www.facebook.com/reel/4075684206061398/",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://socialtap.dev/v1/facebook/post?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY ?? "" },
});
const body = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${body.error.code}: ${body.error.message}`);
const { data, meta } = body;
console.log(data, meta.credits_charged);

Other platforms, same key.

Posts and profiles come back in the same fields wherever they're from.

Frequently asked questions

What you send, what comes back and how your agent uses it.

Contact us
Are the counts exact?
Yes. Reaction, comment, share and view counts are the exact figures Facebook's page states, not the rounded ones it displays.
Are the follower counts exact?
Yes. The follower count is Facebook's exact figure, not the rounded one in the profile's header. On the rare answer where only the rounded count was available, approximate_fields lists it.
Can I get all the comments on a post?
Yes, every top-level comment Facebook serves, a page at a time: next_cursor is set until the last one, in either order. The Facebook Comment Replies API returns each comment's replies.
Does the Facebook Video Transcript API work on videos without captions?
Yes. When Facebook has no caption track for the video, its audio is transcribed with speech-to-text, up to a length limit, and source is asr.
