Why does Facebook show limited results?

Facebook requires login to view most page content. Without being logged in, SmartScan only sees what's visible to logged-out visitors — which is often very little. The SmartScan Chrome extension runs inside your own logged-in browser tab, so it sees the same content you do.

How do I scan a Facebook page that requires login?

Install the free SmartScan Chrome extension, open the Facebook page while logged in, and click the extension icon to extract data directly from the loaded page — no cookies or credentials are shared with SmartScan's servers.

Is this safe? Will Facebook ban my account?

The extension reads the page you already have open in your browser, the same as viewing it normally. It doesn't automate mass actions or violate rate limits. However, always review Facebook's Terms of Service before scraping.

What data can I extract from a Facebook page?

Emails, phone numbers, website links, social profile links, page text, and meta information — everything that is publicly visible on the page.

Chrome extension for login walls

Runs inside your own browser tab, so it can extract data from Facebook pages, groups, and profiles that require you to be logged in — without sending any credentials to SmartScan.

⚡

JS rendering

Facebook is a JavaScript-heavy app. SmartScan uses a full Chromium browser to render public pages completely before extracting — no missed content.

📦

Download as CSV / ZIP

Export all extracted data — emails, phones, links, socials — as individual files or a full ZIP bundle ready to import into your CRM or spreadsheet.

🛡️

Nothing stored, nothing shared

The extension reads only the page already open in your browser and never transmits your login session anywhere. Each scan is stateless.
