Facebook Scraper for Business Leads

What the Facebook scraper does

• Finds active advertisers. Enter a keyword and a country and it lists the businesses running Facebook ads, with page name, category, followers and ad count.
• Searches pages by keyword. Find business pages for any niche or city.
• Reads page details. Run a list of pages through the Page Scraper to collect the email, phone, website, category, followers, rating and whether the page is running ads, read from each page’s About section.
• Lists group members. One group per run, from groups you have joined: name, role, profile link and Facebook ID.
• Collects page posts. See what a page posted between the dates you choose.
• Downloads videos. Paste a Facebook video, Reel or post link, or a list of links, to save it as MP4, or as MP3 audio only. Use it for your own videos, or with the owner’s permission.
• Filters leads. The Lead Gen search keeps or drops results by keyword, so you only keep the businesses you want.
• Lets you set the size. From 10 to 5,000 results per run, then export them.

How it works

1. Connect. Sign in to your own Facebook account inside LeadTrapper.
2. Search. Pick Ad Library, Search, Pages or Group Members, enter your keyword or list and press Run.
3. Follow up. Export the results, check any phone numbers with the WhatsApp Number Filter, and message them with the WhatsApp bulk sender.

Why Facebook leads

The Ad Library shows who is spending on ads right now, which is a strong sign a business is growing and has a budget. Facebook pages also reach businesses that are not on Google Maps. For local businesses that are, the Google Maps scraper returns more phone numbers, and the Instagram scraper covers businesses that live on Instagram.

Know the limits

Meta’s Terms prohibit automated data collection without its permission, so the risk to your account is yours. Group member lists contain no phone numbers or emails, and many pages publish no contact details. Collect only what businesses make public and contact them politely with an easy way to opt out.

Who uses a Facebook scraper

• Ad agencies and freelancers. The Ad Library shows which businesses already spend on ads, so they’re used to paying for marketing.
• Suppliers and B2B sellers in markets where many small businesses run on a Facebook page instead of a website.
• Community managers and researchers listing the members, admins and moderators of a group they belong to.
• Local service businesses finding pages in their niche and city, then checking which ones publish a phone number.

Tips for a better list

• Start with the Ad Library. Advertisers with many ads are spending the most. Sort the export by ad count.
• Then read their pages. Paste the advertisers’ page links into the Page Scraper to collect the email, phone and website each page publishes.
• Pick a country. An Ad Library search by keyword and country keeps the list local.
• Use keep and drop words in Lead Gen, so only the businesses you want stay on the list.
• Use an account you can afford to have limited, and keep runs modest.

Common problems

• “Facebook security check detected. Scraper paused for 24 hours to protect your account.” When Facebook shows a security check, LeadTrapper stops Facebook runs for 24 hours. Complete the check on Facebook and wait for the pause to end.
• “Facebook is cooling down to protect your account.” After three blocked responses in a row, Facebook runs pause for two hours.
• Group members come back empty. You need to be logged in to Facebook inside LeadTrapper and be a member of the group.
• “No posts found.” Make sure you’re logged in and the page is public.
• No phone or email for many pages. Many pages publish none, and group member lists never include them.
