i want to begin scraping events data from various facebook pages but the meta api recently prevented this and webscraping facebook seems almost impossible
does anyone on here have experience with this or know how to effectively extract data from facebook pages ?

You could create your own python script using residential proxies to visit the pages you need to scrape the details

The best and most compliant way to get Facebook data is to use the Facebook Graph API. This ensures that you are operating within Facebook's terms of service and accessing data in a legal, transparent manner.

+1 to this. Also python is a relatively easy language.

tried and doesn't work you can only scrape events that you're attending

FB made it very hard to scrape its data. And to get the access to their query API, you need to be affiliate with researchers. in short, not a way for us either...
is there any service to get FB events data? that would be interesting

Time to use chatgpt and vibe code a bit. Build your own script.
