Cost to scrape Facebook at 10K, 100K, and 1M
Published Facebook scraping rates, plan costs at three billable volumes, access facts, protections, and the official API option.
Access
Protections in the way
Terms
What you scrape moves the bill more than who you buy from. A target that forces JavaScript rendering or a residential exit multiplies the meter before any plan is chosen.
What each vendor charges for this target
Access fact, checked 2026-07-26: Meta’s Terms prohibit automated collection from Facebook without prior permission (Source).
Cost to scrape Facebook at 10K, 100K, and 1M table
| Route | 10K | 100K | 1M | Billing rule and source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bright Data Web Unlocker and Web Scraper API: Facebook Scraper API | Not published | Not published | Not published | Target endpoint is documented, but no target-specific public rate is in the record | 2026-07-26 |
| Crawlbase: Facebook scrapers | Not published | Not published | Not published | Target endpoint is documented, but no target-specific public rate is in the record | 2026-07-26 |
| Meta Graph API | No separate fee published | No separate fee published | No separate fee published | No separate per-request fee is published; app review and rate limits apply. | 2026-07-26 |
The comparison uses 10,000, 100,000, and 1,000,000 billable target calls or delivered results per month, calculated on 2026-07-26. It does not claim those calls all become useful rows. Credit, request, result, and search meters are passed through the dataset quote model, which selects the least expensive published self-service offer that covers each volume. A starting USD rate is shown as a lower bound because an unpublished minimum, tier, or contract can raise the invoice. Retries, pagination, duplicate outputs, taxes, and data licensing are outside these figures.
No public target price was found
The dataset contains no published surcharge or target-specific unit rate for Facebook. A vendor may document a dedicated endpoint without publishing what that endpoint costs at these volumes. Those rows remain “Not published” rather than borrowing a generic request price, because a generic price does not prove target support, residential routing, rendering, parser coverage, or the target-specific contract. The unknown is the answer until a first-party rate is published.
Rendering and access change the job
This record classifies Facebook as very-hard and records rate limiting, CAPTCHA, bot detection and fingerprinting, a login wall, IP reputation checks, dynamic rendering, TLS fingerprinting. JavaScript rendering is required in the recorded profile, so a plain HTML request is not the same workload. Residential routing is recorded as needed, but no generic proxy multiplier is silently added: the table applies only a vendor’s explicit target meter.
Public profiles, posts, comments, engagement, and authenticated views are different jobs, and login state can change both access and output.
The official route is a separate product decision
Meta Graph API is recorded as available. Requires a Meta app and permissions tied to authorized users, Pages, and reviewed use cases; it is not unrestricted public-site access. No separate per-request fee is published; app review and rate limits apply. Graph API exposes approved, permissioned entities and is not unrestricted public-site access. Source and access status checked 2026-07-26.
Endpoint evidence and the remaining unknown
The dataset confirms 2 dedicated endpoints or templates. This proves named target support in the cited product documentation. It does not prove that each endpoint has a public target-specific price.
- Facebook Scraper API is documented, while its target-specific price remains unpublished in this record.
- Facebook scrapers is documented, while its target-specific price remains unpublished in this record.
What volume means for Facebook
One useful unit must be named by object and observation date: a Page, profile, post, comment, or Marketplace listing is not interchangeable with the page that helped discover it. Bright Data and Crawlbase publish dedicated Facebook collection products, so a catalogue should count discovery objects and any follow-up post, comment, or listing records separately (Bright Data Facebook Scraper API, retrieved 2026-07-27; Crawlbase scraper catalogue, retrieved 2026-07-27).
Facebook’s Graph API paginates collection edges with cursors and paging links. That does not establish a universal page size for the rendered website or its infinite-scroll pages, so a buyer must inspect the exact authorized edge or vendor response before multiplying the workload (Graph API paginated results, retrieved 2026-07-27).
The official Graph API answers only the objects, fields, and connections permitted for the app and access token. It is not a general substitute for collecting arbitrary public or authenticated Facebook pages, and it does not reproduce rendered feed or Marketplace presentation (Graph API overview, retrieved 2026-07-27).
Evidence to check before buying
- Bright Data offers separate Facebook profile, post, marketplace, and review scraper products brightdata.com.
- Crawlbase lists Facebook among its purpose-built scraper catalog crawlbase.com.
- Meta’s published terms separately restrict automated collection facebook.com.
- Confirm the exact entity and output unit, whether a page, search, result, record, or API object. Then multiply by pagination and refresh frequency before selecting a plan.
- Keep public and authenticated collection separate. The recorded login wall means credentials can change both the permitted route and the returned fields.
