Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls*	array	Insert a URL of a valid Facebook group. Only <strong>public</strong> Facebook groups can be scraped.
resultsLimit	integer	Select the number of posts you want to scrape. If this limit is not set, as many results as possible will be returned.
viewOption	string (CHRONOLOGICAL \| RECENT_ACTIVITY \| TOP_POSTS \| CHRONOLOGICAL_LISTINGS)	Select sorting order by which the posts should be scraped. Please note that the <strong>Number of results</strong> field will be applied to New posts only. The BuySell items sorting will return results for BuySell groups only. default "CHRONOLOGICAL"
searchGroupKeyword	string	Without logging in, search results are VERY limited, so searching by word will return nothing in most cases. To get more messages, it is recommended to use a one or two letter search and change the year.
searchGroupYear	string	The scraper will extract Facebook posts by this year. To use this field, you need to fill in the <strong>Search by letter</strong> field above ↑.
onlyPostsNewerThan	string	Scrapes post from the provided date to the present day. The date should be in YYYY-MM-DD or full ISO absolute format or in relative format e.g. 1 days, 2 months, 3 years. The JSON input also supports adding time units (UTC timezone): Full or partial ISO timestamp (e.g., `2025-09-23T10:02:01`) as absolute time and relative time, e.g., `1 hour` or `2 minutes`.
