Checklist

What to look for in an API-style option

Prefer an official API when the source offers one that fits. Otherwise look for a maintained scraper with a clear schema, exports and pricing.

  • An official or well-documented API when the source offers one
  • If not: a maintained Apify Actor with clear input/output schema
  • Export formats (JSON/CSV) and webhook/API hooks for automation
  • Transparent usage pricing and run logs

FAQ

Straight answers

Is this an official Facebook Groups API?

No — it is EasyAPI’s Apify Actor that scrapes public pages into structured data. If the platform offers an official API, prefer that for production compliance needs.

How do I call it like an API?

Run the Actor via the Apify API or console, then fetch the dataset. You can schedule runs and push results with webhooks.

Where is the tool landing?

See Facebook Groups Search Scraper on easyapi.tools and the live Actor on Apify for schema and pricing.

What does Facebook Groups Search return?

Public group discovery rows: name, URL, member count and post-frequency signals when available. Verify live schema on Apify.

Groups vs Posts vs Comments — which Actor?

Groups Search finds communities. Posts Search scrapes public posts by keyword. Comments scrapes comments on public posts. Hashtag Search targets hashtag feeds. Start with Groups when you need communities; Posts/Comments when you need content.
