Question:
Can Octoparse scrape Facebook Community or Groups?
Answer:
Yes.
If you want to scrape post of Facebook Community, you can use built-in task templates in Octoparse to scrape them. Click "Task Templates", select "Social Media" in the category, and click "Facebook" to use the Facebook template. Enter the URL of the post page (e.g.https://www.facebook.com/pg/cnn/posts/) and the number of hours ahead of the current time (For example, if you enter "48", it means that you would like to scrape posts published within 48 hours.) to get post data automatically.
Note: Only users with the standard plan or professional plan can use this template.
You can also use old version 6.4.4 of Octoparse to build your own task to scrape Facebook Community or Groups. Our version 7.X is incompatible with most of Facebook pages.
You can download the version 6.4.4 here, and check our tutorial on scraping Facebook Groups here.
