Has anyone tried using phantombuster to enrich facebook url?

While we don't have specific information about using PhantomBuster to enrich Facebook URLs, PhantomBuster is a versatile data extraction and automation platform that can be integrated with Clay for various web scraping tasks. PhantomBuster offers agents for different platforms, and you can use these agents to extract data and push it into Clay. To use PhantomBuster with Clay: 1. Set up the PhantomBuster integration in Clay's Settings. 2. Choose a PhantomBuster agent suitable for Facebook data extraction. 3. Use Clay's "Pull Data" or "Push Data" actions to interact with the PhantomBuster agent. Have you already set up the PhantomBuster integration in Clay? If not, I can guide you through the process.

I understand you're having trouble getting helpful data for Facebook URL enrichment using the PhantomBuster integration. Let's troubleshoot this issue: 1. Check your Agent ID: Ensure you're using the correct PhantomBuster Agent ID for Facebook data extraction. 2. Review Agent settings: In PhantomBuster, make sure your Facebook-specific agent is properly configured to extract the data you need. 3. Verify data pull settings: In Clay, when using the "Pull Data" action, check if you've enabled "Only Fetch Latest Container" or specified a Container ID. 4. Examine output: After running the enrichment, review the data pulled from PhantomBuster to see what information is being retrieved. If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to adjust your PhantomBuster agent settings or explore alternative Facebook data extraction methods.

Hey Kirshia, thanks for reaching out! PhantomBuster offers a few different Phantoms that would likely achieve what you're looking for. Curious, what data from this Facebook URL are you trying to enrich/find? A Phantom that comes to mind is the Facebook Profile Scraper which gives as and on the same par as what is shown in the image below. However, if you're looking for Facebook Profile Ad spend this enrichment may not be the best path. Let me know what you think! :)

Sweet! Super helpful, this Phantom is likely the one to test out. In this table it looks like you're already pushing the data into Phantombuster to be enriched. The final step would be using a "Pull Data" column and the Container ID (shown below) to pull the data that has been scraped. :) Let me know how I can best help here!

Hey Kirshia, absolutely! You can use the "Pull Data" enrichment and input the Container ID (shown below) to pull the data that has been scraped. Included a quick video below on this, it looks like there may be an error when trying to pull data from PhantomBuster itself which means it may be worth going into PhantomBuster on your end and clicking into what exactly happened after pushing these URL's to PhantomBuster.

Ah, got it! Here's what’s going on: By default, if a container ID isn’t specified, the system will only pull data from the availableentries. This is just the default behavior. To ensure you're pulling the correct data, you’ll want to specify a container ID, which acts as a unique identifier for the data scraped when a specific URL is pushed from your Clay table. You can find this ID within the metadata of the "Push Data" column. That’s why rows from 11 onward are pulling 11 entries, it’s because no container ID has been defined yet, as the "Push Data" column hasn’t run for those rows. However, since the first two rows have already run, and the "Pull Data" column still isn't returning any results, there may be an issue within the Phantom itself that’s preventing data from being retrieved correctly. Would recommend checking out your Phantom to see what data was pulled and is associated with the container id: 505543607161298. Just trying to locate where exactly the error is taking place! :)

Yes, but first, since we're testing this on rows one and two and the data is not being pulled correctly it's worth double checking that the data you're trying to scrape is being scraped properly. This can be done by going into you PhantomBuster account and clicking on this Phantom that's being used. Then check how many results there are and what data is associated with those results to double check that this scraping is happening properly. :)

Hey there Kirshia thanks for reaching out, taking a look at this do you mind sharing Phantombuster link for the particular Phantom you are using so that we can check this.

Hey, Can you start again to do these steps please while recording a loom?: 1. Start with a Push – In Clay, run the Push Data action for each row. This step sends your URLs to PhantomBuster and returns a Container ID for each. 2. Use the Container ID – Once a row has run and you have a Container ID, you’ll need to plug that into the Pull Data column. This tells Clay exactly which batch of results to fetch. 3. Then Pull – After setting the Container ID, Clay can now pull the scraped data (like email and phone) for that specific row. If you’re only seeing results for the first 10 leads, it likely means only the first 10 rows had the Push run, or those are the only ones with a valid Container ID set. Also, for large datasets, PhantomBuster might not return everything in one go through Clay. In those cases, it’s better to run the Phantom directly in your PhantomBuster dashboard, then use a webhook to bring that data into Clay. If you’re up for it, a quick video showing how you’re running the push and pull setup in Clay would help us spot exactly where things might be going wrong. Let me know how it goes—happy to walk you through any part of this!
