At this point, Facebook is still one of the best platforms for consistent results—especially for scaling with proper structure. TikTok is growing fast, but Meta's tools, tracking, and stability keep it ahead for now. Future might shift, but it’s far from over.

Hi. Tools like ParseHub or octoparse can pull basic public profile info, but they often get blocked. A more reliable approach is using facebook’s graph API (if you have developer access) just keep in mind it has some limits. For photos, you might need a browser extension like web scraper (IO).

You can build a custom crawler using Puppeteer and connect it to the Google Sheets API to reliably extract names, bios, followers, and images, just make sure to rotate IPs and simulate human behavior.

You can try tools like PhantomBuster or Instant Data Scraper (Chrome extension). They work well with exporting profile data to Google Sheets, but always ensure you're compliant with platform policies.

You can use tools like PhantomBuster or Apify to extract data from Facebook profiles. You can then import this data into Google Sheets via add-ons like Supermetrics or Google Sheets API Connector for analysis.
1. Browser-based automation (Playwright + Google Apps Script)
2. No-code tools (e.g., Bardeen, Make, Apify)
3. Manual + semi-automated hybrid
Important: Always respect platform terms.
Stick to public profiles, and avoid automation that touches friend lists, inboxes, or private content.

If you're targeting basic public profile info like name, follower count, and bio, the most stable approach long-term is through the Facebook Graph API. It's limited, but reliable and doesn't trigger blocks like most browser-based scrapers.
For photos, though, you'll probably need a hybrid setup, API for metadata, and a headless browser (like Playwright or Puppeteer) for visual content.
Make sure everything stays within public scope. Automations that hit private edges (friends list, inboxes, etc.) are asking for trouble.
