Request Headers

Parameters	Parameter value	Type	Description

Authorization	Bearer xxx	string	Authorization Token

Request Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
target	Yes	string	Target URL, supported ID or search keyword for this operation.
options	No	object	Optional collection settings, described below.

options Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
maxPages	No	integer	Pages to collect. Default: 1; values above 5 are capped at 5. Must be a positive integer. Default: 1 Minimum: 1 Maximum: 5
cursor	No	string \| null	Continuation cursor from the previous response. Pass the value unchanged.
sort	No	string	Result ordering. Supported values are listed below. Values: [“top”, “new”]
commentId	No	string	Parent comment identifier. Set this to collect replies instead of root comments.

Only the request parameters listed on this page are used; other fields are ignored. Pass pagination cursors back unchanged, without encoding, decoding or conversion.

One page by default, capped at five per request. Page counts must be positive integers; higher values are capped at five.

A non-empty commentId selects explicit reply mode. Direct replies are billed; Facebook also bills returned nested replies. Continue with the cursor described above.

Normal comment mode automatically includes up to 200 replies per comment. Explicit reply mode uses page limits and has no extra 200-reply total cap.

0.8 points per root comment; included replies are free. Supported explicit reply modes charge 0.8 points per direct reply; nested replies included with those results are free.

Empty results and failed requests are not charged. Duplicate IDs are counted once within a response. Separate calls and pages are billed separately. See Social Media Reviews API billing.
