Facebook group posts API

GET /api/v1/group_posts · GetSocialAPI

A group's post feed with cursor pagination (2–3 posts per page).

Request

Parameter	In	Required	Description
`group_id`	query	yes	Numeric group id
`after`	query	no	Cursor from `group_feed.page_info.end_cursor` of the previous page; omit for the first page

Response

The raw stitched GroupFeedCsrQuery payload (deep merge of JSONL chunks, fields as-is): the group card plus group_feed-shaped sections with posts — creation_time, message, actors, attachments — the same Story node schema as the user timeline.

Response example — click to expand (abridged: one array item per array, long strings trimmed)

Top-level posts live in data.group_address.group_feed.edges[].node; __typename: "Story" nodes are posts (a GroupsSectionHeaderUnit may precede them). The response is valid JSON as delivered — the example above is trimmed for readability only.

Python SDK: client.fb.group_posts(group_id); see Facebook SDK.

Pagination

The feed is paginated with the same after scheme as the user timeline:

Request without after → first page.
Take the cursor from data.group_address.group_feed.page_info.end_cursor (~548-char base64 string) and pass it back as after verbatim (URL-encoded, unmodified).
Repeat while page_info.has_next_page is true; false — end of feed.

Posts are only the edges with node.__typename == "Story" (2–3 posts per page); skip GroupsSectionHeaderUnit edges and dedupe by node.cache_id as a safety net. Cursor properties: reusable, not bound to a session/key, take end_cursor only from group_feed.page_info.

import time, urllib.parse

BASE, K = "https://api.getsocialapi.com/fb", {"X-API-Key": KEY}
after, posts = None, []
while True:
    url = f"{BASE}/api/v1/group_posts?group_id={GID}"
    if after:
        url += "&after=" + urllib.parse.quote(after, safe="")
    r = requests.get(url, headers=K, timeout=30)
    r.raise_for_status()
    gf = r.json()["data"]["group_address"]["group_feed"]
    posts += [e["node"] for e in gf.get("edges") or []
              if e.get("node", {}).get("__typename") == "Story"]
    pi = gf.get("page_info") or {}
    if not pi.get("has_next_page") or not pi.get("end_cursor"):
        break
    after = pi["end_cursor"]
    time.sleep(1.0)   # stay ≤1 request/sec per key

Python SDK: client.fb.group_posts(group_id, after=...) — one page per call, after taken from group_feed.page_info.end_cursor.

Errors

HTTP	Case
`400` + `{{"error": "Invalid Cursor…"}}`	broken/foreign `after` — take the cursor only from `group_feed.page_info`
`401` / `429`	see Rate limits
`502`	upstream Facebook error (after retries)
`503`	no live slots (`Retry-After: 15`)

An empty or closed group returns HTTP 200 with edges: []; posts in closed groups depend on the scraper token's membership.
