Search public Facebook events by keyword, such as music festival. Each event has its name, start time, the date as Facebook shows it, venue, online flag, whether it has already happened, going and interested counts, ticket price text when shown, and cover image. Past events are included. About 5 per page; page on with next_page_token.

Price $0.96 per 1,000 requests ($0.000958 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Event search endpoint (facebook/events_search).

How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to facebook and action to events_search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- keyword: Words to search public events for, such as music festival or yoga Singapore. Past events are included; check is_past.
- Optional parameters:
- page_token: Page token for events_search and page_events. Leave it out for the first page, then pass back the previous response's next_page_token exactly as received; the last page has none.
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, name, starts_at, date_text, place_name, place_id, is_online, is_past, going_count, interested_count, price_text; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=facebook.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "facebook",
"action": "events_search",
"params": {
"keyword": "music festival"
}
}
- Price: $0.96 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.
