Profile Posts

GET /v1/facebook/profile/posts

Returns publicly visible Facebook profile posts, limited to 3 posts per page due to API limitations. Each post includes id, text, url, reactionCount, commentCount, publishTime, videoDetails with sdUrl, hdUrl, and thumbnailUrl, plus topComments. Accepts either a url or pageId parameter, where pageId is faster.

Authentication
