Fetch one Facebook post from its url with text, author, post time and like, comment and share counts. Comments, detailed reactions and private content are not included. Use comments for the thread.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to facebook and action set to post. Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 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.
AI prompt
#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Post details endpoint (facebook/post).
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 post, 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…
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, url, text, author_name, author_username, author_id (Numeric user id of the comment author (…), author_url (Profile link of the comment author), author_avatar_url, media, reactions, view_count, link; 18 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=facebook.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "facebook",
"action": "post",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/nasa"
}
}
- 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

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). |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
author_id | Numeric user id of the comment author (stable identifier for cross-request deduplication). |
author_url | Profile link of the comment author. |
author_avatar_url | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
media | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
reactions | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
view_count | Views or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
link | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
group_name | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
is_paid_partnership | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
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. |
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. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
