Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Facebook Groups API

Are all comments included?

Only comments visible in the initial public response are returned. A post can report more comments than are included; this is not a complete comment export.

Can I search groups or export member lists?

Group search and member-list exports are not supported by this endpoint. Supply a known group URL or ID.

Can I access private groups?

This endpoint reads publicly available data. Private or login-only content may be unavailable.
