How health is measured
- Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
- Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
- A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
- Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
- Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Search public results on Facebook. Accepts these parameters: since, until, keyword, and content_type. Returns these fields: author_username, text, share_count, and posted_at.
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.
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 | search | Capability identifier, fixed value. |
keyword | body.params | Not declared | Yes | - | 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; for marketplace, it accepts item search terms or complete Marketplace search URLs. Each action queries a different dataset rather than returning the same results under different field names. |
content_type | body.params | enum | No | - | Sorts results for the search action using allowed values latest for newer posts or most_popular for popular posts. Despite its name, content_type acts as a sorting dimension and does not filter by media format, such as images or videos.Allowed valueslatestmost_popular |
since | body.params | Not declared | No | - | 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 | body.params | Not declared | No | - | 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 | body.params | integer (1–200) | No | 10 |

Response example
Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the source platform. |
text | Body text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
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). |
Errors and billing
- 401
- Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
- 422
- Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
- 402
- Insufficient balance. Top up first.
- 429
- Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
- 503
- Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
- 200 empty
- The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
