Extract Public Facebook Group Post Media Data

Curated by Lagic·Verified working

Configure Agent

Insert a URL of a valid Facebook group. Only public Facebook groups can be scraped.

Select the number of posts you want to scrape. If this limit is not set, as many results as possible will be returned.

Select sorting order by which the posts should be scraped. Please note that the Number of results field will be applied to New posts only. The BuySell items sorting will return results for BuySell groups only.

Without logging in, search results are VERY limited, so searching by word will return nothing in most cases. To get more messages, it is recommended to use a one or two letter search and change the year.

The scraper will extract Facebook posts by this year. To use this field, you need to fill in the Search by letter field above ↑.

Scrapes post from the provided date to the present day. The date should be in YYYY-MM-DD or full ISO absolute format or in relative format e.g. 1 days, 2 months, 3 years. The JSON input also supports adding time units (UTC timezone): Full or partial ISO timestamp (e.g., `2025-09-23T10:02:01`) as absolute time and relative time, e.g., `1 hour` or `2 minutes`.

Overview

This tool extracts media-related metadata from posts within public Facebook groups, including image URLs, video details like live viewer counts and duration, and post owner information. It's ideal for analyzing visual content trends and engagement within specific communities.

Understanding what resonates visually within target communities is key for content strategists and marketers. The Facebook Groups Scraper allows you to collect detailed media information from posts within public Facebook groups. You can specify which groups to monitor by providing their URLs, and control the volume of posts collected. ### What You Can Extract For each post, the tool focuses on the attached media. This includes the URLs and dimensions of images, and for videos, it provides thumbnail URLs, live viewer counts, and playback duration. You also get the publish timestamp for each post and the IDs of the post owner and the recipient group. This data helps you see which types of visuals perform well, and when they were published. ### How to Target Your Data Inputting Facebook group URLs is straightforward. You can also define the number of posts to scrape, or let the tool collect as many as possible. To refine your dataset, choose from sorting options like chronological order, recent activity, or top posts. For buy/sell groups, there's a specific sorting option for listings. Additionally, you can filter posts by a specific year, though keyword searches are very limited without being logged in and often yield minimal results, making single-letter searches combined with a year filter more effective for historical data. You can also specify a 'posts newer than' date to capture recent activity, using flexible date formats. ### Important Considerations This tool is designed for public Facebook groups only. Due to Facebook's platform restrictions, keyword searches are often ineffective unless you use very broad, single-letter queries combined with a year filter. The primary output focuses on media attachments and their associated metadata, providing insights into visual content and its performance rather than comprehensive text-based post content or comment analysis.
