Facebook — a Data Scraping Treasure Trove
Facebook is one of the most visited sites worldwide. Five new profiles appear on Facebook every second. Billions of people use it daily to communicate with family, friends, and businesses and to speak about the things that matter to them.

Facebook in its turn tracks where we are, what we do, what we talk about, who we talk to, what we like, what we’re interested in, and what transactions we conduct. Facebook knows what we do even when we venture to other sites, through their “like” and “share” buttons and Facebook Pixel.
Obviously, integrating the site that accumulates users’ personal details with other internet resources makes Facebook a data scraping treasure trove.
Why Scrape Facebook?
Facebook scraping provides the biggest and the most dynamic dataset not only for human conduct but also about current world events.
Business experts and researchers of different spheres can produce analytic reports and representative samples of various kinds from Facebook data to understand individuals, social groups, and society as a whole.
Social researchers, for instance, collect information from Facebook pages to get familiar with the lives and social networks of various demographic groups.
The knowledge it’s possible to gain through Facebook scraping may be a perfect asset for both advertising and propaganda.
Businesses and various organizations like news agencies, for instance, require marketing and scrape Facebook for this purpose.
Brand-new opportunities to use scraped data may be out of sight, but these chances appear regularly, and it’s vital to explore so your business can spot and take full advantage of them.

What Information Can You Gather on Facebook?
Every user leaves a lot of personal details and photos on their FB page.
To detect patterns in people’s behavior, you can collect the user’s:
- first and last name
- gender
- contact information
- education and employment details
- marital status
- website
- date of birth
- interests
- languages spoken
- religion
- source link

To better understand your audience, you can scrape posts from public pages and open groups and their comments.
You can then find out details about the
- number and identity of the users who interacted with any post,
- number of posts published this week,
- percentage increase from last week,
- engagement over a certain period, and the
- number of likes, shares, and comments.
The collected data helps to
- get insights on the target market,
- analyze the competition,
- find the influencers in your sphere
- optimize marketing,
- personalize the content you publish,
- refine your target audience,
- correct your brand image, and
- uncover meaningful details about your industry.
Facebook scraping is extremely effective, but there are things to keep in mind when gathering data from this social media giant. Parsing Facebook works well, however, it’s unpredictable. The network prohibits automated crawling and implemented strict access restrictions on its APIs. So scraping technologies must be improved once every couple of months to keep up. When scraping Facebook, businesses must consider the legal ramifications of the data they wish to collect and use.
