Capturing Posts
Turn any Facebook profile, Page, or creator into clean, sortable post data just by scrolling.
- Can I automate captures or use a PostSnag API?No. PostSnag is manual and read-only for capturing, capturing only what you scroll past in your own session. PostSnag MCP separately lets your AI read what you've already captured.
- How do I capture a creator or public figure's posts?A creator account is a personal profile with professional mode turned on, and PostSnag captures it exactly like any other profile.
- Can I capture Facebook Reels?Yes, PostSnag captures Facebook Reels from a profile's main timeline as you scroll, with the real playable video file, a cover image, duration, caption, and full engagement.
- How do I capture posts from a Facebook Page?PostSnag captures a Facebook Page's posts with the same scroll-to-capture flow used on a personal profile, no admin access required.
- How do I capture posts from a Facebook profile?Open the profile, scroll steadily while PostSnag's panel captures each post, then click Export To Dashboard to send everything to your account.
- How does scroll-to-capture work, and why does scrolling matter?PostSnag reads the posts that load onto your screen as you scroll a Facebook profile, so how far and how steadily you scroll decides what it captures.
- How do I send my captured posts to the dashboard? (Export To Dashboard)Export To Dashboard sends the posts you've captured while scrolling up to your PostSnag dashboard; nothing syncs until you click it.
- How do I sign in to the PostSnag extension?Sign in to the PostSnag extension with your email and password or Continue with Google, the same account you use on the dashboard.
- What is the PostSnag panel?The PostSnag panel is the in-page window on Facebook that shows live capture progress, a refresh button, and analytics on what you've collected.
- How do I get the most complete and accurate capture?Load the page fully, scroll slowly from the top, and wait for Synced before exporting: the habits that produce the most complete capture.
- What data does PostSnag capture from each post?PostSnag captures each post's type, full engagement numbers, exact date and time, caption, media, and author details, including the real video file for videos and Reels.
- Which Facebook profiles, Pages, and creators does PostSnag work on?PostSnag captures personal profiles, Facebook Pages, and creator profiles in professional mode the same way, plus Facebook Groups, either a member's profile or the whole group feed.
