## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | no | Full URL of the Facebook post to fetch comments for |
| `feedback_id` | no | Using feedback_id (instead of url) will *really* speed up the request. You can get the feedback_id when you make a request to /v1/facebook/post. |

## FAQ

### How do I get comments from a Facebook post?

Send a GET request to /v1/facebook/post/comments with either the post url or a feedback_id. SocialCrawl returns a comment array with author name, comment text, like count, reply count, and creation timestamp.

### What is feedback_id and why should I use it?

feedback_id is Facebook's internal identifier for a post's comment thread. Calling /v1/facebook/post/comments with feedback_id is significantly faster than url. You get feedback_id from the /v1/facebook/post response.

### How many comments can I paginate through?

Use the cursor parameter to walk through the full comment list. Each response includes a cursor for the next page — keep calling until the cursor is empty. SocialCrawl handles the pagination tokens for you.

### Are comment replies included?

The endpoint returns top-level comments with a reply count for each. Nested reply threads are not expanded inline — use the reply count to decide which threads are worth a separate request for deeper analysis.

### Can I use this endpoint for sentiment analysis?

Yes. Each comment comes with its raw text, author, and like count — feed it directly into an LLM or classifier. Combine with /v1/facebook/post for reactions breakdown and full post context.
