Connect the FB parser
The FB parser collects data about your ad accounts, campaigns, ads and pages straight from the Facebook interface — through the eyes of your own logged-in profile. Collection runs via the Qubix extension inside an antidetect browser, so Facebook sees the normal activity of the account, not requests from the outside. For more on how this works — see FB parser.
This scenario takes you from installing the extension to the first data collection. What you need beforehand: an antidetect browser (AdsPower, Dolphin Anty, Multilogin, GoLogin or Incogniton) with a working profile logged in to Facebook.
1. Download the extension
Open Browsers (under the profile/avatar menu) and click Download extension. For more — see Browsers.
2. Install the extension into the antidetect browser profile
Install the downloaded extension into the right working profile of your antidetect browser. The extension uses the already-open Facebook session in that profile and pulls data the way the account itself sees it.

The parser works only while the profile is logged in to Facebook. If the profile logs out, the FB status becomes invalid and data stops updating — open the profile and sign in again.
3. Check that the profile appeared and the FB status is valid
After the extension is installed, the profile is imported into the Browsers section automatically. Find it in the list and make sure the FB status is Valid. If the status is different — open the profile card and click Check.
4. Start parsing
Enable data collection for the profile: in the profile card click Run parse. From this point the extension begins collecting data about ad accounts, campaigns, ads and pages.
The progress and results of collection are visible on the Parse Logs tab in the profile card, and the collected data fills the Ad accounts and Fan pages sections, as well as campaigns and ads.
Done
The extension is installed, the profile is parsing, and Facebook data is being pulled into Qubix. Next:
- Browsers — managing profiles, filters and columns.
- Ad accounts — the data the parser fills.
- Reconciliation (discrepancy) — reconciling collected data with Facebook.
