Frequently Asked Questions
What data can I extract from profiles?
You can extract publicly visible posts including:
- Post content and text
- Reactions and engagement counts
- Post dates and timestamps
- Media URLs (images, videos)
- Post URLs for reference
Does this work with private profiles?
InsightSocial only extracts publicly available information. If a profile is set to private or friends-only, you won't be able to access that content.
Can I extract profile information like email or phone?
No. InsightSocial extracts post content and engagement data only. Personal contact information is not collected even if publicly displayed.
Is profile scraping ethical?
When used responsibly for legitimate purposes like research, competitive analysis, or journalism, scraping public information is a common practice. Always respect privacy and use data ethically.
How do I know if content is public?
If you can see the content while logged out of Facebook, it's public. InsightSocial only accesses content that's available to anyone on the internet.
