Facebook posts, especially on big brand Pages and in busy groups, can gather hundreds or thousands of comments, and that is where the real audience reaction sits. It is honest, unfiltered and public, and it is almost impossible to work with by scrolling and clicking "view more" until your thumb gives out.

Exporting the comments as data solves that. You give the tool a post, and every comment comes back as a row with the text, the commenter and the likes. Then you can rank it, read the sentiment fast, and pull out the people and themes that matter. Here is how.

What you can pull

  • Every comment on a Facebook post
  • The name of each commenter
  • Like counts per comment
  • Replies within threads
  • A link back to the post

Why export Facebook comments

A post's comments are candid market research nobody had to pay for. Pull them into a table and the top-liked comments rise to the surface, the recurring questions and complaints become obvious, and the exact words your market uses are there to reuse in your own copy. On a competitor's post, the comments often read like a list of everything their customers wish were different, which is useful ammunition when you are the alternative.

How to export comments with Tooltap

The Facebook Comments Scraper needs the post.

  1. Paste the post URLs, one or more, one per line.
  2. Set how many comments you want per post, a sample or the full thread.
  3. Run it. Comments come back as a table with the text, the commenter and the likes.
  4. Sort or scan. Order by likes to find what landed, or read for questions and objections.
  5. Export. Send it to CSV, or feed the text to an AI tool to summarise the sentiment.
Read the room before you post. Before you weigh in on a trending post or run a similar campaign, pull the comments on the posts already out there. You will know exactly what tone and message the audience is rewarding, and what is getting torn apart.

What people use this for

Doing this properly

The tool reads the public comments on a Facebook post, the same ones any visitor can see, and returns them as data on your instruction. It works on public posts. You are charged only for the comments that come back, and if you act on what you find, especially contacting people, that is your responsibility under Facebook's terms and the privacy rules that apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

Can I export every comment on a post?

Yes. Add the post URL and set how many comments to pull, up to the full thread. Each comes back with the text, the commenter and its like count.

Are replies included?

Yes. Replies within comment threads come back too, so you get the whole conversation, not just the top layer.

Can I do several posts at once?

Yes. Paste multiple post URLs, one per line, and the tool pulls the comments from each in one run.

Can I analyse the sentiment automatically?

Export the comments and pass them to any AI tool, or point your AI at Tooltap, to summarise the mood and surface common themes in seconds.

What does it cost?

One credit per comment returned, and you get 100 free credits to start. A run that finds nothing costs nothing.
