Example request

GET
/v1/facebook/profile/photos

Returns a page or profile's photos, each with a photo id, permalink, full-size image URL, thumbnail, and accessibility caption when available.

Use it for a page's photo gallery. The plain row carries no author, engagement or publish time, so add the optional include=details to fill them from each photo's own post in the same call.

Metered: 10–90 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.

Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Authorization

apiKey
x-api-key<token>

Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.

In: header

Query Parameters

url*string

Full URL of the Facebook page or profile

include?"details"

Set to details (one token only) to fill post.author.display_name, post.author.avatar_url, author.id, post.engagement.likes, .comments and .shares, and post.published_at on every photo in this one call. A photo inside a multi-photo post carries its own counts, not the post's. Without it the call is unchanged.

Value in

  • "details"
since?string

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.

until?string

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.

cursor?string

The pagination.next_cursor from the previous page, sent back unchanged. Omit it for the first page.

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.

Value in

  • "1"

Profile › Full GET

Returns a page's profile plus its latest 3 posts in one call. Use it instead of calling profile and profile/posts yourself; the profile still comes back even if the posts part fails.

Profile › Posts GET

Returns recent posts from a Facebook page or profile, each with the post text, like and comment counts, the per-reaction breakdown, media, and publish time. Share counts are null on a plain call.
