Facebook Profile Scraper

Facebook

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A bulk Facebook profile scraping connector that extracts public profile data without requiring login, producing structured records for identity and biography, account category, work history entries, education history entries, locations (current city and hometown), relationship status and partner details, audience metrics (followers, page likes and engagement indicators, and join date when available), trust signals (verification badge, account creation date, ad-running indicator), media and external links (profile and cover images, website and listed external links), and status metadata (privacy flag and an explanatory error when a profile is not publicly visible). The connector parses profile and page About sections into structured arrays for work and education, captures numeric and textual attributes and timestamps, supports both personal profiles in professional/public modes and business pages, and returns one clean record per profile for large-scale people-data enrichment, vetting, and research workflows.
