Scrape the comments of a public Facebook post. The post is identified by its URL or ID.

Request

Exactly one of postUrl or postId 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.post.comments({ postId: "1652244896270880" });
console.log(result.data.results);

from stophy import Stophy

stophy = Stophy()  # reads STOPHY_API_KEY
result = stophy.facebook.post.comments(post_id="1652244896270880")
print(result["data"]["results"])

curl -X POST https://api.stophy.dev/v1/facebook/post/comments \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $STOPHY_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"postId":"1652244896270880"}'

stophy facebook post comments --postId 1652244896270880

Response

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