FAQ

Can I scrape private profiles?

This tool only supports scraping publicly accessible profile information. For profiles set to private or restricted access, the tool will not be able to extract data. We recommend confirming target profile privacy settings before use.

What application scenarios is profile scraping suitable for?

• Talent Recruitment Screening: Quickly build candidate databases, verify professional background and work experience
• Identity Verification and KYC: Verify user identity information, reduce fraud risk
• User Profile Building: Collect target user characteristic data, precisely locate target audiences
• Market Research Analysis: Understand target audience's professional distribution, educational background, and regional characteristics
• Social Network Analysis: Analyze user social relationships and influence metrics

Can I get the latest profile data?

Each scraping task immediately extracts the latest public data from the target platform, ensuring results are synchronized with the platform without relying on any cache, thus guaranteeing data timeliness.

What profile URL formats are supported?

• Complete personal profile link: https://www.facebook.com/username
• User ID link: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=123456789

How are invalid links handled during batch scraping?

Only publicly accessible profiles produce result rows — links that are invalid, private, or otherwise out of reach do not return data. Confirm each link is a complete facebook.com URL before running.

Can I use this with MCP?

Yes. CoreClaw exposes this scraper through an MCP server, so MCP-compatible AI assistants and coding tools can drive it directly — fetch the input schema, start a run, check its status, and pull results or logs as callable tools, without writing scraping code. See the MCP integration docs: https://docs.coreclaw.com/integrations/ai/mcp

Can I plug this into automation workflows?

Yes. Results land in CoreClaw and can flow out through a webhook, MCP, or the REST API, so you can chain this scraper into n8n / Zapier-style pipelines. Set a callback_url to have results pushed to you asynchronously, or poll the run status and fetch results programmatically. Results export in 8 formats — CSV, JSON, JSONL, XLSX, XLS, XML, HTML, RSS.

Does it support REST API calls?

Yes. Run this scraper programmatically through the CoreClaw REST API — see the API documentation at https://docs.coreclaw.com/api/.

• Base URL: https://openapi.coreclaw.com, all paths start with /api/v2.
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY (the legacy api-key header and ?token= query still work).
• Typical flow: GET /api/v2/workers/{workerId}/input-schema to inspect the input format → POST /api/v2/workers/{workerId}/runs to start a run (input goes in input.parameters.custom; set a callback_url for async delivery) → poll GET /api/v2/worker-runs/{runId} until the status is succeeded → GET /api/v2/worker-runs/{runId}/result to fetch rows (page with offset += limit) or /result/export to download results in any of the 8 formats.
