Comments

GET /v1/facebook/post/comments

Fetches comments from a Facebook post or reel with cursor-based pagination. Each comment includes id, text, created_at, reply_count, reaction_count, and author details with name and profile_picture. Passing a feedback_id instead of a url significantly speeds up the request.

Authentication

All requests require the x-api-key header. Get your key at scrapecreators.com.
