I can help you build this tool. I’d use Playwright with a persistent browser profile so you log into Facebook once, then it scrolls the feed, identifies posts based on your filters (minimum comments, keywords, sponsored markers), and extracts page name, post URL, reactions, comment count, and media links. The interface can be a simple Streamlit or Electron desktop app that exports results to CSV/Excel. I’ll include duplicate detection, scroll-depth control, and a stop/resume mechanism to keep it practical and avoid unnecessary load.

Hi! Rawan here. Now this is my kind of project—building automation that's actually useful. I can build a Windows desktop application that assists with researching Facebook ads while keeping you in control of the browsing session. The application will launch a browser for you to log in, then monitor your feed and collect information from posts that match your criteria. My background includes Python automation, Selenium, Playwright, web scraping, REST APIs, data processing with Pandas, and building desktop tools, so this fits perfectly. I'll also make the code modular so adding new filters or export fields later is straightforward. One important note: since Facebook frequently changes its interface and has rules governing automation, I'll design the tool to work with your logged-in browsing session and within the practical limits of what's available through the interface, avoiding unnecessary automation that could make it fragile. You won't receive a quick script that breaks after a week—you'll receive a maintainable desktop application with clean, documented code that's easy to extend as your research needs grow. Send me the detailed matching criteria, and I'll start building it. By the time we're done, you'll have your own Facebook research assistant doing the repetitive work while you focus on finding winning products.

Hi there, I built a Playwright pipeline that scrapes a live Arabic/English business directory, deduplicates records, and exports structured data to a Streamlit dashboard with the same moving parts as what you're describing here. Two things worth flagging before we scope it: 1. Budget: the range posted ($10–30) won't cover the build. I'd need $90–110 for a solid, tested tool. 2. Facebook TOS: automated scraping of a logged-in feed violates Meta's terms, which you mentioned wanting to respect. The honest fix is a semi-automated mode, the tool opens Facebook in a real browser you control, highlights matching posts, and you confirm before anything is saved. Same output, no TOS exposure, and actually more reliable than pure automation, which FB actively blocks. Worth a quick message to align on scope before I write a spec?

I have done Selenium scraping tools like this before. For a Facebook ad research desktop app, I would run a headless browser session with cookie based login, scroll and capture posts by engagement count, then export to CSV or a local DB. Working prototype in 3 days. The budget and timeline here are starting points based on the post as written, final numbers come after we talk through the full scope. Want me to send a quick plan?

I build Playwright/Selenium desktop tools like this regularly for product-research use cases. My plan: a Python + Playwright backend that drives a real Chrome session you log into manually (so your own session/cookies are used, keeping things within a normal logged-in browsing pattern), scrolling and reading the feed DOM to identify posts matching your filters (sponsored flag, comment count, keywords, date), then writing page name, post URL, comment count, reactions and media links to a row in your export. I'll wrap it in a simple Streamlit or Electron front-end so you can set filters and hit 'Start/Export' without touching code, and add reasonable pacing between actions so it behaves like normal human browsing rather than hammering the feed. Happy to start with a quick proof-of-concept on the scrolling/detection logic before building out the full export pipeline.

I can build this as a Windows-friendly desktop tool using Playwright or Selenium with a simple interface in Python, Node.js, Electron, or Streamlit. The app would let you log into Facebook in a browser session you control, scan the feed, apply your filters, and capture matching posts with available metadata such as page name, URL, comments, reactions, and media links when accessible. I’d structure it for ease of use and reliability: clear filters, export to CSV/Excel, and a workflow that keeps your research organized. I’ll also be careful to design it in a way that respects Facebook’s terms of service and avoids unsafe automation patterns. If you want, I can start with a lean first version focused on search, filtering, and export, then expand it with a polished desktop UI and stronger data collection once the core flow is validated.

Hello BUILD A BROWSER AUTOMATION TOOL TO COLLECT HIGH-ENGAGEMENT FACEBOOK POSTS with reliable filtering and exports — the key challenge is collecting useful research data while keeping the workflow stable and within Facebook’s usage rules. I would structure the tool with Playwright/Selenium automation, a lightweight desktop interface, and a data layer that validates captured fields before export. Using configurable filters for keywords, dates, and engagement thresholds will make product research faster without manually reviewing every post. A likely edge case is changes in page layouts or missing engagement data, so the scraper should handle unavailable fields gracefully and continue collecting valid records instead of failing completely. The output would include clean CSV/Excel exports with the captured post details organized for analysis. Do you already have a specific Facebook feed workflow you want automated, or should the tool be designed around a general research process with configurable filters? Regards.

Hello, I can build a browser automation tool that moves beyond basic scraping to reliably extract high-engagement Facebook posts while staying within platform guidelines. I recently built a similar data extraction system for a marketing agency using Python and Selenium that pulled targeted ad creatives daily and exported them to Google Sheets without triggering blocks. I’ll use Playwright in a headless Chromium instance so the tool can log into Facebook and navigate feeds without visible automation flags. Matching posts will be filtered live by your criteria—comment count, date, and keywords—then saved with page names, URLs, and engagement metrics before exporting to CSV. The Electron shell will keep the interface simple and prevent Facebook from detecting automated browsing. Your research will run faster and stay compliant because the scraper mimics real user behavior instead of hammering endpoints. If this fits your needs, I’d be happy to discuss the login flow and export format before writing the first line of code. Thanks, Lazar.

Hello! I'll build you a desktop automation tool that scrapes high-engagement Facebook posts for product research, giving you clean, actionable data without manual browsing. I've built multiple browser automation systems using Python and Selenium Webdriver to extract structured data from dynamic platforms. My web scraping experience includes handling authentication flows, infinite scroll detection, and extracting engagement metrics like reactions, shares, and comments. I use Selenium to simulate real user behavior, manage session persistence, and bypass common anti-bot measures while keeping the tool stable and maintainable. Here's how I'll get you there: - Set up a Python desktop application with Selenium to navigate Facebook, authenticate securely, and scroll through target pages or groups - Extract post content, engagement metrics, advertiser information, and media links based on your filters - Store the data in a structured format (CSV, JSON, or database) with timestamps and source tracking for easy analysis What specific engagement thresholds or product categories are you targeting for the initial version? I can start immediately and keep you updated through Freelancer messages as I build and test each module. Best regards, Jordan Rafael
