Search › Posts

Returns public Facebook posts matching a keyword, each with text, permalink, publish time, like count, comment count, and author.

Use it when you have a phrase, not a page URL. recent_posts=true ranks by recency; start_date and end_date bound the window.

Metered: 10–50 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Query parameters

querystring required
Example:NASA

Keyword or phrase to search for.

cursorstring

Cursor from the previous response.

start_datestring

Include posts on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

end_datestring

Include posts on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

recent_postsboolean

When true, rank by recency instead of relevance.

location_uidstring

Facebook location id to scope the search.

dry_run'1'

Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.

sincestring

Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following next_cursor, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept.

untilstring

Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.

max_age_daysinteger

Keep only rows published within this many days (post.published_at), 1 to 3650. A row with no date is discarded.

max_pagesinteger

1 to 5 (default 1). Walk up to this many pages in one call and return the rows from all of them (after any filter). Each page walked is billed as one call to this endpoint; the whole walk counts once against your rate limit.
