Input

Input settings for Facebook Public Follower & Following Snapshot Tool
SettingTypeRequiredDefaultWhat it does
startUrls array Yes – One or more Facebook Page or Profile targets. Accepts full URLs, profile.php?id=..., /people/<name>/<id>/ (plus /followers, /following, /friends, or /both suffixes), /p/..., and URLs already ending in /followers, /following, or ?sk=... . The m/mobile/touch hosts are normalized to www. mbasic is reje
mode string No followers Which public list(s) to collect. 'both' collects Followers and Following. 'friends' is a legacy alias: Facebook does not expose Friends to logged-out visitors, so it returns the Followers collection with isFallback=true.
maxItems integer No 50 Hard cap on row records across all targets. The default is 50; the daily prefill uses 8. Set 8 to reproduce the old 8-row preview behavior.
maxItemsPerTarget integer No 0 Optional cap per target (0 = no per-target cap). Use it to stop one large account from using the whole maxItems budget.
searchQuery string No – Keep only accounts whose name contains this text (Facebook's own in-list search, case-insensitive substring). Empty means no filter; one-character queries are treated as no filter because Facebook ignores them.
includeProfileDetails boolean No false Adds row-level follower/following counts, category, email, phone, website, address, work, education, current city, and hometown when Facebook exposes them. Uses two opt-in GraphQL requests per row (header + light About) plus a profile-HTML fallback, all capped by maxItems. Off by default; absent fie
deduplicateRows boolean No false When enabled, each profileId/profileUrl is emitted once across all targets and modes (first occurrence wins). Per-target pagination duplicates are always removed.

Example input

Built from the input form's published example values and defaults.

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nike"
    }
  ],
  "mode": "followers",
  "maxItems": 8,
  "maxItemsPerTarget": 0,
  "includeProfileDetails": false,
  "deduplicateRows": false
}

Run it from code or an AI agent

The same run through the Apify API, with the example input. You need an Apify API token; the run is billed to your account at the Store price.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run_input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nike"
        }
    ],
    "mode": "followers",
    "maxItems": 8,
    "maxItemsPerTarget": 0,
    "includeProfileDetails": False,
    "deduplicateRows": False
}

run = client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/facebook-public-follower-and-following-snapshot").call(run_input=run_input)
if run is None:
    raise RuntimeError("The Actor run was not found.")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

pip install apify-client

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from "apify-client";

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: "<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" });
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nike"
        }
    ],
    "mode": "followers",
    "maxItems": 8,
    "maxItemsPerTarget": 0,
    "includeProfileDetails": false,
    "deduplicateRows": false
};

const run = await client.actor("nimbryxo-studio/facebook-public-follower-and-following-snapshot").call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

npm install apify-client

cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/nimbryxo-studio~facebook-public-follower-and-following-snapshot/run-sync-get-dataset-items"   -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   -d '{"startUrls":[{"url":"https://www.facebook.com/nike"}],"mode":"followers","maxItems":8,"maxItemsPerTarget":0,"includeProfileDetails":false,"deduplicateRows":false}'

Waits for the run and returns the dataset items (runs over 300 seconds return HTTP 408; start an async run instead).

MCP (AI agents)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=nimbryxo-studio/facebook-public-follower-and-following-snapshot",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Adds this Actor as a tool in an MCP client that takes a remote server URL (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code) through Apify's hosted MCP server. OAuth sign-in also works without the header. Clients that only start local servers can wrap the URL with npx mcp-remote.

What a run costs

The result rate falls on higher Apify plans. Each figure is the published per-result rate times the number of results.

Cost of Facebook Public Follower & Following Snapshot Tool results by Apify plan
Apify planPer 1,00010,000 results100,000 results
Free plan$0.99$9.90$99
Starter plan$0.82$8.20$82
Scale plan$0.66$6.60$66
Business plan$0.49$4.90$49
  • Every run also has a start event, charged per GB of memory (minimum one): $0.10 on Free, $0.03 on Business. At its default memory of 4 GB a run starts at $0.40 on Free. Fewer, larger runs keep this small.
  • The Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage (Apify pricing, checked 2026-11-11); at the Free rate that covers at most about 5,050 results, less start events and platform usage.
  • Worked example: 10,000 results in one run on the Free plan cost $10.30 ($9.90 for results + $0.40 start), plus Apify platform usage (compute), billed separately by Apify.
  • Pay per event. Platform usage (compute) is billed by Apify on top of the event prices. Compare other tools in the cost estimator.

Stops are fields. A ring means the field is in that route's published output schema; no ring means the line passes without it. Bold labels are the core fields for this website, the rest are fields that differ between routes. A white capsule means every data line stops there. The red line is the official API; its field coverage is not compared. A crossed red line means there is no open official API.

Official route: Meta Graph API

Limited access. The Graph API exposes data for apps and Pages you manage, plus some public Page data with approved permissions. It is not a general crawler of public posts.

No per-call fee is published for standard Graph API use; access depends on app review.
