#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Group posts endpoint (facebook/group_posts).
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 group_posts, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Specifies the target URL corresponding to the requested action. Use public Page URLs for profile and user_posts, post URLs for post and comments, group page URLs or group identifiers for group_posts, and business page UR…
- Optional parameters:
- sort: Specifies post ordering for group_posts using top for top posts or recent for posts with recent activity, defaulting to chronological order if omitted.
- limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: id, url, text, posted_at, like_count, comment_count, share_count, author_id (Numeric user id of the comment author (…), author_name, author_url (Profile link of the comment author), group_url.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "facebook",
"action": "group_posts",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/874728723021553"
}
}
- Price: $1.39 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.Request parameters
#| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | header | string | Yes | - | Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository. |
platform | body | string | Yes | facebook | Platform identifier, fixed value. |
action | body | string | Yes | group_posts | Capability identifier, fixed value. |
url | body.params | string | Yes | - | Specifies the target URL corresponding to the requested action. Use public Page URLs for profile and user_posts, post URLs for post and comments, group page URLs or group identifiers for group_posts, and business page URLs for reviews (which appends /reviews). Arbitrary Facebook URLs cannot be interchanged across actions. |
sort | body.params | string | No | - | Specifies post ordering for group_posts using top for top posts or recent for posts with recent activity, defaulting to chronological order if omitted. The recent option is based on activity rather than post creation time alone. Unsupported string values fall back to chronological order instead of returning an error. |
limit | body.params | integer (1–200) | No | 20 | The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 200. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. |

Response fields
#Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
text | Body text with HTML removed, returned in full and never cut short (on a few platforms the list results themselves carry only an excerpt; the platform's field notes say so). |
posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
share_count | Shares. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
author_id | Numeric user id of the comment author (stable identifier for cross-request deduplication). |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_url | Profile link of the comment author. |
group_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

- Meta Official: Historical Private Content Remains Protected When Groups Change to Public ↗
Official Meta documentation notes that when a private group switches to public, new content becomes publicly visible while content and member lists from its private phase remain restricted; therefore, a group currently public does not guarantee access to historical posts or complete member lists.

Meta explicitly states that automated collection of Facebook data without prior permission violates its terms, even for publicly visible data. Citing authoritative sources does not constitute proof of authorization for platform collection or reuse.
