Step-by-step: Search public Facebook posts by keyword
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.
Authorization
apiKey Your key from the dashboard. It starts with isk_.
In: header
Query Parameters
Keyword or phrase to search for.
Cursor from the previous response.
Include posts on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
Include posts on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
When true, rank by recency instead of relevance.
Facebook location id to scope the search.
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"
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.
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.
Keep only rows published within this many days (post.published_at), 1 to 3650. A row with no date is discarded.
1 <= value <= 36501 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.
