# Get Post

> A single Facebook post by numeric id, pfbid, permalink.php form or reel URL — with attachments, reaction breakdown, share and comment counts.

Fetch one post. Facebook post ids come in several shapes — bare numeric ids,
`pfbid` strings, `permalink.php` query forms and `reel/` URLs. When you have a
full URL, pass it as `url`; it overrides the path id.

**Credits:** 5

## Authorization

<ParamField header="X-API-Key" type="string" required>
  Your ScrapeBadger API key.
</ParamField>

## Path Parameters

<ParamField path="post_id" type="string" required>
  Post id — numeric or `pfbid`. Ignored when `url` is supplied, but still
  required as a path segment (pass any placeholder, e.g. `0`).
</ParamField>

## Query Parameters

<ParamField query="url" type="string">
  Full post permalink or reel URL. **Overrides `post_id`.** Use this for
  `permalink.php?story_fbid=…&id=…` and `{page}/posts/{pfbid}` forms that a
  bare id cannot resolve.
</ParamField>

  A deleted or region-restricted post returns `404`. Comments are a separate,
  heavier call —
  [`/posts/{post_id}/comments`](/api-reference/endpoint/facebook/get-post-comments).
