Collect recommendations and reviews from a Facebook Page url, with text, recommend or not, rating where given, author and post time. Facebook uses recommend or not in place of stars, so a missing rating does not void a recommendation.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to facebook and action set to reviews. 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 Reviews endpoint (facebook/reviews).
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 reviews, 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:
- 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, is_recommended, rating, rating_scale, posted_at, like_count, comment_count, author_id (Numeric user id of the comment author (…), author_name, author_url (Profile link of the comment author).
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "facebook",
"action": "reviews",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/copperkettleyqr"
}
}
- 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). |
is_recommended | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
rating | Rating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
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. |
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. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |

#Used only to check objects and terms. They do not imply authorization or endorsement of EveryInfra by the platform.
- Facebook Official Documentation: Page Recommendations and Reviews ↗
Official documentation explains that recommendations are displayed in the Reviews section of a Page and notes that removing violating reviews can alter the Page rating. A Page's overall rating is distinct from an individual recommendation entry, so `is_recommended` cannot be automatically converted into a star rating.
