A single Page often exposes an email, a phone number, a website, opening hours, a rating, and a category — all sitting in public view. The hard part isn't that the data is hidden; it's pulling it consistently, at scale, without logging in or getting blocked. That's what our [Facebook Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/apivault_labs/facebook-profile-scraper) is built for. This post is a walkthrough of what it actually does, field by field, and how people use it. ## The core principle: public data, no login The scraper never logs in and never uses cookies. It reads only what any logged-out visitor's browser can see — the public metadata of a profile or business Page. That's a deliberate design choice: - **No account, no cookies, no ban risk on your side.** You don't hand over credentials or a session. - **Real-time.** Each run fetches live data, not a stale cached database, so what you get reflects the Page as it is right now. - **Fast and cheap.** A desktop-first fetch strategy with retries and deduplication keeps runs quick and the cost per profile a fraction of a cent. The trade-off is honest: without login you get profile and Page *metadata*, not private feeds or a full post history. For lead generation and business research — which is what this tool is for — that metadata is exactly what you need. ## What you get back: 30+ fields per profile Feed it one or many profile/Page URLs (or even a numeric Facebook ID) and each result comes back as a structured record. Here's what's in it. ### Core identity `username`, `fullName`, `bio`, `category`, `locale`, `verified`, `profileType`, `profileUrl`, `avatarUrl`, `coverPhoto`, `facebookId`. You always know exactly who the record is, whether it's a verified Page, and what kind of entity it is. ### Audience `followerCount` (pulled as an exact number, not a rounded guess), plus `audienceSize` bucketing from micro to mega and an `engagementRatio`. Useful for quickly sorting a list by reach. ### Contact data — the lead-gen payload This is the part most people come for: - `emails[]` + `primaryEmail` - `phones[]` + `primaryPhone` - `websites[]` + `primaryWebsite` - `bestContact: { channel, value, label }` — the single best way to reach them, pre-picked And a genuine differentiator: **website enrichment**. When a Page lists a business website but no email on Facebook itself, the scraper visits that site (homepage, `/contact`, `/about`) and pulls the email and phone from there. You get contact data even when Facebook alone doesn't have it. ### Local business details When the Page is a local business, you also get `aggregateRating` (value + count), a structured `address` (street, city, region, postcode, country), and `openingHours[]`. That's enough to build a local-lead list or a competitor map without touching another tool. ### Lead intelligence Beyond raw fields, each record carries a scored assessment: - `activityScore` (0–100) with `activityScoreReasons[]` - `activityTier` — small / growing / established / major - `recommendations[]` and an `outreachPitch` Instead of "here's a Page," you get "here's a Page, here's how active it is, and here's an angle to open with." Sort by `activityScore` and you've got a priority queue for outreach. ### Cross-platform reach `socialSearchUrls{}` gives you deep links to find the same brand on Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Google — handy for enriching a profile across channels. ### Run summary Every run also emits an aggregate `_summary` record: total scraped, verified count, how many had an email, average activity score, and the tier breakdown. Good for a quick read on list quality before you export. ## Built for bulk Single-profile lookups are trivial; the scraper is built for lists. Practical features that matter at scale: - **Deduplication** — input URLs are normalized (vanity vs numeric, `m.` vs `www`, locale variants) and output is deduped by `facebookId`, so you never scrape or pay for the same Page twice. - **Retries** — failed fetches get a fresh proxy IP and backoff. - **Concurrency** — runs many profiles in parallel; 25 mixed Pages finish in seconds. - **Webhook** — optionally POST each profile in real time to your own endpoint as it's scraped. - **Non-existent Pages aren't billed** — if a Page doesn't resolve, you don't pay for it. Pricing is pay-per-result at $4 per 1,000 profiles, so a few thousand leads costs a few dollars, with no subscription. ## How people use it - **B2B lead lists** — feed a list of business Page URLs, get back emails, phones, and websites ready for outreach, pre-scored by activity. - **Local prospecting** — pull ratings, addresses, and hours for businesses in a category or area. - **Influencer and brand research** — exact follower counts, verification status, and cross-platform links for a shortlist. - **CRM enrichment** — resolve a Facebook URL into a full contact record, including data pulled from the business's own website. There's also a Python SDK (`scrape()`, `scrape_one()`, `filter_by_tier()`, `filter_with_email()`, and more) if you'd rather call it from code than run it from the console. ## A note on responsible use The scraper reads publicly available business and Page metadata — the same information any visitor sees — and public business contact details. That's standard B2B research. Use it for legitimate outreach and market research, respect opt-outs, don't target private individuals for surveillance, and keep your outreach compliant with applicable laws (GDPR, CAN-SPAM) and Facebook's terms. ## Bottom line If you need Facebook Page contact data for leads, the [Facebook Profile Scraper](https://apify.com/apivault_labs/facebook-profile-scraper) turns a URL (or a whole list) into a clean, scored record — emails, phones, websites, ratings, and a ready outreach angle — with no login, in real time, for well under a cent per profile. Public data, structured and ready to work. --- *What field would make your Facebook lead workflow easier? Tell me and I'll look at adding it.*
