Why

Why teams scrape Facebook

Facebook holds some of the most commercially useful public data on the web, and almost none of it is available through a stable official feed at the volume real products need. Rate limits, partner-only access and shifting page structures mean teams either give up on the source or maintain a fragile scraper that breaks every few weeks.

Public pages remain a primary source for local business information, event data and brand messaging, and the Graph API's permission model puts most of it out of reach.

Irmu removes the infrastructure question entirely. One authenticated request handles proxy selection, browser rendering, anti-bot challenges and retries, and AI Extract turns the resulting page into validated JSON against a schema you define. You get page_name, category, likes, followers, posts, contact_info, events without writing or maintaining a single selector, and the same endpoint, quota and observability model you already use for every other source.
