facebook.post_comments

beta 2 credits may need a pack

Comments on a Facebook post.

GET /v1/facebook/post_comments

What you get#

A list of Facebook results in Onekey's unified shape, in data (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free 404 not_found instead.

Pagination: 2 results per page. The response carries a pagination block; send its next_cursor back as the cursor parameter to get the next page. Every page is one call at the price below. See Pagination.

Also known as: /facebook/post/comments on APIs that nest their paths. See Alternatives and equivalents.

What it costs#

2 credits for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).
Free if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

Parameters#

Name	Type	Required	Default	What it is	Constraints
`post_id`	string	yes	(required)	Facebook post id ({page_id}_{post_id})	max 52 chars; must match `[0-9]{5,25}_[0-9]{5,25}`; trimmed
`cursor`	string	no	-	Opaque cursor from a previous response's `pagination.next_cursor`. Omit for the first page.	-

Field mapping#

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's unified schema. Fields the source lacks come back as null.

Source path	Onekey field	Transform
`id`	`content.id`	-
`message`	`content.text`	-
`created_time`	`content.createdAt`	`toIsoDate`
`from.id`	`author.id`	-
`from.name`	`author.displayName`	-
`like_count`	`engagement.likes`	`toNumber`
`comment_count`	`engagement.comments`	`toNumber`

Caching and freshness#

Fresh for about 2 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
Between 2 minutes and 15 minutes the cached copy is still served instantly and marked stale: true while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 hour more (marked stale).
A "not found" is remembered for 1 minute and is free.
The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

What can go wrong#

Status	Code	What to do
401	`unauthorized`	Check the `x-api-key` header.
402	`insufficient_credits`	Add credits; your balance must cover the price.
404	`not_found`	Unknown endpoint path.
422	`invalid_params`	Fix the parameters using the table above. Free.
429	`rate_limited`	Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry.
502	`upstream_error`	The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff.

See Errors for the full list and retry guidance.
