Recently I created a Facebook scraper that can scrape profiles, posts, comments, reactions, groups, Marketplace and search engine. It's free and open source. It's lightweight, doesn't use a headless browser and doesn't rely on fragile HTML parsing. If anyone is interested, feel free to try it out and contribute if possible. And don't forget to star the repo if you find it useful! :) https://github.com/XD-MHLOO/facebook-gql-scraper
