Fetch a Facebook Group’s metadata, and its feed from the companion endpoint.

`GET /v1/facebook/groups/{group_id}/posts`	the group feed (`Post[]`)

Credits: 5 (each)

Authorization

string

required

Your ScrapeBadger API key.

Path Parameters

string

required

Numeric group id or the group’s vanity slug — the facebook.com/groups/<group_id> segment.

Query Parameters

string

/posts only. Pagination cursor — the end_cursor from a previous response.

Response — `/groups/{group_id}`

Returns a single Group object.

string

Numeric group id.

string

Group name.

string

Canonical facebook.com/groups/ URL.

string

Facebook’s privacy setting — typically Public or Private.

string

Whether the group is listed in search (visible) or hidden.

integer

Number of members.

string

Group intro / rules text.

string

Cover image URL.

number

Group creation time, Unix seconds.

string

Group creation time, ISO 8601 UTC.

Response — `/groups/{group_id}/posts`

Post[]

Full Post objects — id, post_id, url, permalink_url, message, creation_time_utc, created_at, author (Actor), attachments[] (Media), reaction_count, reaction_count_text, top_reactions[], comment_count, share_count, story_type. See Get Page or Profile Posts for the field-by-field breakdown.

integer

Number of posts in this page.

string

Pass as after for the next page.

boolean

Whether more posts are reachable.

A private group returns metadata but an empty posts[] — Facebook serves no feed units to a non-member session. Check privacy before treating an empty feed as an error.
