Example request

GET
/v1/facebook/group/posts

Returns posts from a Facebook group, 3 to 4 per page, each with the post text, reaction count, comment count, the per-reaction breakdown, and author info.

Use it for group content, since profile/posts covers pages only. Facebook serves a group 3 to 4 posts per page, so a long history is many pages. Each page is billed as one call: quote a long walk with dry_run first. Send next_cursor back as cursor for older posts; each post's url works as the input to post and post/comments. Share counts are not on this surface; read one with post.

10 credits per call.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.
