3. Click Start
4. Get structured JSON data in the dataset

Pagination

Each run returns a next_cursor in the OUTPUT key-value store. Pass it as the cursor input on your next run to get the next page. Repeat until has_more is false.

Finding a Group ID

The Group ID is the numeric ID in the group URL. For example:

• https://www.facebook.com/groups/1071647543772583/ → ID is 1071647543772583
• For groups with text slugs (e.g., /groups/epicretire/), you can find the numeric ID in the page source or use our group resolver.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
group_id	string	Yes	-	Facebook group numeric ID
per_page	integer	No	10	Posts per page (3-100)
cursor	string	No	-	Pagination cursor from previous run
