curl https://api.unifapi.com/facebook/groups/{id}/posts \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $UNIFAPI_KEY"Parameters
- idpathrequired
- Facebook group id or vanity name, as in facebook.com/groups/{id}.
- sort_byquery
- Optional sort order for posts returned from the group feed. `top`: Facebook's default relevance ranking. `recent_activity`: sorted by most recent comment/reaction activity. `chronological`: regular posts in Facebook's "New posts" order, which is not guaranteed to be strictly by post time (e.g. groups with post approval); use `published_at` to sort. `chronological_listings`: Facebook's separate feed of listing-style posts (e.g. items for sale) within the group, sorted by time.
- cursorquery
- Opaque pagination cursor from a previous response's `pagination.next_cursor`. Omit for the first page.
- The parameter for this Facebook operation. Use the URL-visible slug or id described in the docs.
This operation is part of the Facebook API in the social platforms category. It uses the same Bearer token, request tracing, error model, and billing envelope as every UnifAPI endpoint, so agents can switch between platforms without custom per-vendor glue code.
Use it when a workflow needs Facebook public data alongside other social networks, but should still keep one API key, one account balance, and one predictable JSON contract.
Common agent workflows
- Fetch canonical public Facebook content for summarization, ranking, monitoring, or enrichment.
- Attach engagement, author, media, and source metadata to an agent workflow.
- Give an AI agent a stable Facebook data source without building a per-platform integration.
- Normalize Facebook responses into the same UnifAPI envelope used across the catalog.
Unified envelope, platform-native fields
- List-style responses return `data` as an array of top-level records plus optional `pagination` for continuation tokens or cursors.
- The operation has a 3 credits ($0.003) minimum charge, so `billing.records_charged` can be higher than the visible records returned.
- If the workspace balance cannot cover every result, the response can be truncated and `billing.truncated_due_to_balance` tells the caller why.
Response status codes
Billing
This operation charges 1 credit per billable record, with a 3 credits ($0.003) operation minimum. Public responses include billing metadata with credits charged, records charged, and remaining workspace balance. Incorrect Credit deductions caused by platform failures can be restored as billing corrections.
Errors and retries
Authentication, validation, rate-limit, not-found, and provider errors use the unified UnifAPI error format. Agents should log `request_id`, retry only retryable failures, and treat invalid API keys, disabled keys, and expired keys as the same public `unauthorized` error type.
