🔎 Search queries

searchQueries

Optional

Keywords, phrases or hashtags, one per line, e.g. "coffee", "#blackfriday", "iPhone 17 battery". A Facebook search URL such as https://www.facebook.com/search/posts/?q=coffee also works. Facebook's search is fuzzy: it ranks related posts, so turn on 'Only posts that contain the query' for strict results.

Type:array

🔀 Sort by

sortBy

Optional

"Top" is Facebook's default ranking (popular posts, any age). "Most recent first" returns the newest public posts and pairs with monitor mode for a feed of new mentions.

Type:string

Default:top

Options:

toprecent

📅 Posted after

startDate

Optional

Absolute date (2026-09-01) or relative to now (7 days, 3 weeks, 2 months, 1 year) or a day count (1 = today, 2 = yesterday and today). Sent to Facebook as its date filter and re-checked on every post. Leave empty for no lower bound.

Type:string

📅 Posted before

endDate

Optional

Absolute date or relative (e.g. 30 days). Combine with 'Posted after' for a window such as startDate 2026-01-01 + endDate 2026-06-30.

Type:string

📍 Location (Facebook place id)

locationUid

Optional

Facebook's numeric id of a city or region to restrict the search to posts tagged there, e.g. 108424279189115 (New York, NY). Find it on facebook.com: search, open the city filter and copy the number at the end of the location page URL. Leave empty for a global search.

Type:string

🎯 Only posts that contain the query

mustContainQuery

Optional

Keep only posts whose text contains the search query (case-insensitive). Facebook's search also returns related posts without the exact words; this makes the result strict. Measured on 307 posts: single words matched 94% (coffee, pizza), multi-word phrases far less ("hiring now apply" 0%, "zillow listing" 40%).

Type:boolean

Default:false

🔤 Keyword filter

keywordFilter

Optional

Keep only posts whose text, author name or link title contain this word or phrase, case-insensitive, e.g. "recipe" or "discount, sale, promo" (comma = any of them). Leave empty for no filter.

Type:string

Default:

🎞️ Post type

postType

Optional

Keep only one kind of post. Marketplace listings and event posts count as 'photo' when they carry an image.

Type:string

Default:all

Options:

allphotovideolinktext

👥 Posted in

postSource

Optional

Where the post was published. Measured on 307 search results: 25% were public-group posts, 4% came from business Pages, the rest from profiles and creator pages.

Type:string

Default:all

Options:

allgroupspages_and_profilesbusiness_pages

👍 Minimum reactions

minReactions

Optional

Keep only posts with at least this many reactions, e.g. 100 to keep popular posts only. 0 = no minimum.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100000000

Default:0

💬 Include post details (top comments, video files)

includePostDetails

Optional

Opens each post's public page and adds the top comments Facebook shows signed-out (up to about 10: text, author, date, reactions), the video SD/HD file URLs and the video view count. Charged as the post-details event only for posts that received details. About one extra request (0.8 MB) per post.

Type:boolean

Default:false

🔁 Only new posts since the last run

monitorMode

Optional

Remembers, per search query, which posts were already delivered (in the named key-value store below) and returns only new ones. Works best with 'Most recent first': the run stops as soon as a whole page was already delivered, so a scheduled check costs one or two pages. A run that finds nothing new delivers nothing.

Type:boolean

Default:false

🗄️ Monitor memory name

monitorStoreName

Optional

Name of the key-value store that keeps the per-query memory for monitor mode. Give each separate feed (a brand, a client, a Slack channel) its own name so they do not hide posts from each other. Letters, digits and hyphens.

Type:string

Default:facebook-search-posts-monitor

💯 Max posts per query

maxPostsPerQuery

Optional

Cap per search query after filters (your main cost control; you pay per delivered post). Facebook serves 11-12 posts per page; deep pagination measured to 8+ pages. 0 = as many as Facebook serves, up to 1,000 per query.

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:1000

Default:50

🔢 Max posts in total

maxItems

Optional

Hard cap for the whole run across all queries. 0 = no total cap (each query is still capped above).

Type:integer

Minimum:0

Maximum:100000

Default:0

🤖 Compact output

compact

Optional

Core fields only (post_id, type, url, message, published_at, author name/url/type, reactions, comments, shares, views, image, video, external_url, group, location, hashtags, search_query): about a fifth of the bytes, sized for AI agents and MCP clients.

Type:boolean

Default:false

🌍 Proxy

proxyConfiguration

Optional

Apify datacenter proxies serve every request this actor makes (measured on search pages and post pages). The actor rotates to a fresh proxy session when Facebook rate-limits one, and keeps one session per batch of requests.

Type:object

Default:

{
  "useApifyProxy": true
}

⚡ Parallel requests

maxConcurrency

Optional

How many search queries (and post-detail pages) are fetched at once. 2 is a safe default; raise to 4 for long query lists.

Type:integer

Minimum:1

Maximum:6

Default:2
