Scrape a public Facebook page’s posts. The page or user is identified by its URL or username.

Request

Exactly one of pageUrl or username is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with invalidRequest.

import { Stophy } from "stophy";

const stophy = new Stophy({ apiKey: process.env.STOPHY_API_KEY });
const result = await stophy.facebook.page.posts({ username: "NASA" });
console.log(result.data.results);

from stophy import Stophy

stophy = Stophy()  # reads STOPHY_API_KEY
result = stophy.facebook.page.posts(username="NASA")
print(result["data"]["results"])

curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/facebook/page/posts \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username":"NASA"}'

stophy facebook page posts --username NASA

Response

If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. data.results[] contains a page of the page’s posts, each with its text, media, reactions, comments and shares. The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut.
