List posts from a Facebook Page or account at url, each with text, author, post time and like, comment and share counts. The results are not necessarily the complete timeline.

Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to facebook and action set to user_posts. Price $2.78 per 1,000 requests ($0.002778 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Asynchronous by default: returns a job_id first; poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Posts by user endpoint (facebook/user_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 user_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:
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 50. 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": "user_posts",
  "params": {
    "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nasa"
  }
}
- Price: $2.78 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- This endpoint is asynchronous by default: it returns 202 and a job_id, then you poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} until the status is succeeded or failed.
- 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.

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).
