Search Facebook posts by keyword and get each post's text, author, likes, comments, shares and post time, with an optional date range. content_type sorts by newest or most popular rather than filtering media, and private messages are not searched.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to facebook and action set to search. Price $16 per 1,000 requests ($0.016 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Every 10 rows you ask for count as one call: limit sets the charge, and blocks that come back with no rows 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 Search endpoint (facebook/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 search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: Specifies the search query for distinct platform endpoints. For search, it searches public posts; for ads, it accepts ad keywords or direct Ad Library and Page URLs.
- Optional parameters:
  - content_type: Sorts results for the search action using allowed values latest for newer posts or most_popular for popular posts. (allowed: latest / most_popular)
  - since: Filters post publication dates for the search action from this start date, recommended in YYYY-MM-DD format. Combined with until, it forms the query date range; it does not filter ad run times or comment creation times.
  - until: Filters post publication dates for the search action up to this end date, recommended in YYYY-MM-DD format. Combined with since, it forms the query date range; it does not control ad expiration dates.
  - 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: 10)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: 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": "search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "urban gardening"
  }
}
- Price: $16 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.

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.

FieldMeaning
idThe record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms.
urlLink to the record on the platform.
textBody 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_nameAuthor's display name.
author_usernameAuthor's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs.
author_idNumeric user id of the comment author (stable identifier for cross-request deduplication).
author_urlProfile link of the comment author.
author_avatar_urlKeeps the platform's own meaning
mediaKeeps the platform's own meaning
reactionsKeeps the platform's own meaning
view_countViews or plays. null means not disclosed, not 0.

group_nameKeeps the platform's own meaning
is_paid_partnershipKeeps the platform's own meaning

posted_atPublish 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.
platformSource platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok).
