How to Continue a Facebook Profile Capture

What to do if your capture stops before reaching the beginning of the profile

If your Standard capture does not reach the start of a Facebook profile, it is likely hitting Facebook’s content loading limit. You can continue capturing from where it stopped by using one of the following methods.

Method 1: Using Standard Capture with Date Filters

  1. Check your last capture

    • In your Portal, note the date of the last post that was successfully captured.

  2. Filter the profile by date

    • On the Facebook profile, click the Filters option.

    • Enter the same date or the next day to resume capturing.

    • If the last date contained multiple posts, select that same date to ensure none are missed.

  3. Continue capturing

    • The profile will now display all remaining posts from that point forward.

    • Select your Standard Settings and restart the capture.

Method 2: Using a Facebook Scrape and Bulk Capture

  1. Request a scrape

    • Navigate to the Facebook profile in the Page Vault Browser.

    • Click the red Expand button.

    • Under Post by Post capture type, select Request Scrape.

  2. Receive the scrape file

    • A CSV file of all post URLs will be emailed to you by our team.

  3. Bulk capture the post URLs

    • Open the Expand menu again.

    • Under the Standard capture type, select Bulk Capture a List of Posts.

    • Copy and paste the URLs from your scrape file into the tool.

    • We recommend entering 50–100 URLs at a time to prevent crashes or account flags.
