# Retrieve Facebook Post by ID

`GET /desearch/facebook/post/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.desearch.ai`
- URL: `https://api.desearch.ai/desearch/facebook/post/{id}`
- Auth: API key in header `Authorization`

Retrieve normalized metadata for a public Facebook post/media item by ID.

Billing metadata: successful billable responses include the `X-Desearch-Cost-Usd`, `X-Desearch-Usage-Count`, `X-Desearch-Service`, and `X-Desearch-Currency` headers. JSON object responses also include optional `cost_usd`, `usage_count`, `service`, and `currency` fields. For example, `usage_count=10` at `$0.015 / 1,000` resolves to `cost_usd=0.00015`. JSON arrays, text, and streaming responses keep their body shape and expose billing metadata only through headers.

## Path parameters
