## README

### Facebook Group Posts API

Fetch recent posts from any public Facebook group by URL: text, author, reactions, and comment counts.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "facebook/group-posts", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/instantpotcommunity/"}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | The URL of a public Facebook group to fetch posts from (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/groups/instantpotcommunity/). |
| `cursor` | string | No | Pagination cursor from a previous response to fetch the next page. |
| `sort` | string | No | Ordering for the returned posts (e.g. TOP_POSTS). One of: `TOP_POSTS`, `RECENT_ACTIVITY`, `CHRONOLOGICAL`, `CHRONOLOGICAL_LISTINGS`. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.0012 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
