Facebook Profile Photos Scraper API

The Facebook Profile Photos endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull every photo a Facebook page has posted, page by page, with captions, alt text, full-resolution URLs and engagement. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Facebook changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON. Longer result sets come back page by page with a cursor, so you can walk the whole set without holding it in memory.

Facebook profile photos questions

Answered before you ask.

The reference

Send one authenticated HTTPS request to the Facebook Profile Photos endpoint with a URL and your HProxy API key. Pull every photo a Facebook page has posted, page by page, with captions, alt text, full-resolution URLs and engagement. No proxies, no headless browser and no parsing on your side. The response is ready-to-use JSON.

This endpoint is 0.15¢ per successful call, which is $1.49 per 1,000. It bills from your HProxy balance with no subscription and no monthly minimum. Errors are retried and never charged; a lookup whose target does not exist counts as a call.

No. Every call runs on HProxy's own residential network behind the scenes, so requests look like real users. The proxy layer is already included in the per-call price.

A structured JSON object with the full profile photos data Facebook exposes publicly. See the fields listed above. The schema is consistent across calls, so you integrate once and rely on it.

Yes. The response carries a cursor; pass it back on the next call to continue from where you stopped. Each page is one billable call, so you only pay for the depth you actually pull.

The API only accesses publicly available Facebook data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser. You are responsible for using the data in line with applicable laws and Facebook's terms for your use case.

More on the Facebook Profile Photos API

What the Facebook Profile Photos endpoint returns

Pull every photo a Facebook page has posted, page by page, with captions, alt text, full-resolution URLs and engagement. The JSON object carries images[], caption / altText, stats and cursor. Nothing is summarised away on our side, so what you read in the response is what the Facebook profile photos page itself holds.

What you send to the Facebook Profile Photos API

The call takes a URL. Required: url. Optional: next_page_id and cursor. Your key travels in the X-API-Key header, the response is JSON, and the call is billed at 0.15¢, $1.49 per 1,000.

Posts and media on other platforms

The same posts and media data is available on 13 other platforms: TikTok Video, YouTube Channel Videos, Instagram Post, LinkedIn Company Posts, Twitter / X User Tweets, Reddit Subreddit Posts, Threads User Posts, Pinterest Pin, Twitch User Videos, Bluesky User Posts, Spotify Track, Truth Social User Posts and Kick Clip. They share this endpoint's JSON shape, its per-call billing and your one API key, so moving from Facebook to another network is a change of URL rather than a second integration.

Is scraping Facebook profile photos allowed?

The endpoint reads publicly available Facebook data, the same pages anyone can open in a browser without logging in. It does not touch private accounts or anything behind a password. How you then use the data is yours to keep lawful, under the rules that apply to you and to Facebook.
