What’s the best tool to track the most viral Facebook posts by keyword? I’m especially interested in filtering results by time — like most liked posts from the last 24 hours, past week, month, or even the past year. Any recommendations?

Tracking viral Facebook posts by keyword and timeframe is tricky now that the API is locked down, but there are still ways. Some use custom scrapers with headless browsers, filtering by likes/comments within set time windows, mobile proxies help keep those scrapers under the radar. If you still have access to CrowdTangle (rare these days), you can combine that with automation to pull trending posts by keyword over specific periods like 24h, 7d, etc. Not perfect, but works with the right setup.
 
That's a great question. Tracking viral Facebook posts by keyword especially with time-based filters can be tricky. While Facebook's own search function is okay it's not really built for deep competitive analysis or detailed trend spotting. For more robust solutions you might want to look at social listening platforms. Tools like BuzzSumo or Brandwatch Consumer Research are quite popular. They let you monitor keywords across Facebook and other social media sites filter by timeframe and often provide data on engagement like likes shares and comments. There are also specialized Facebook analytics tools like Quintly or Fanpage Karma. These can give you a granular look at post performance and let you analyze competitor content. However be aware that access to full historical data can sometimes be limited depending on the platform and your subscription level. Hopefully this gives you some useful starting points.
 
About general FB posts, I'm not aware of any tool that can do that
About FB Ads, there are several ''FB ad spy'', you can search for it on Google and you will find several tools that can do that and filter by keyword and timeframe
 
To track viral posts by keyword and time frame, you need a powerful tool that can analyze both engagement and when the post peaked. The right tools will allow you to filter by likes, shares, and comments over specific time frames like 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, while also providing historical data to spot emerging content trends. It’s best to choose a solution that can continuously crawl data, support chart analysis, or export files to easily track content performance by stage and keyword. The ability to track by domain or page is also a big plus if you need to keep up with a specific niche.

As far as I know, there are a few tools that can help you track viral posts by keyword: Sprout Social, Awario, Hootsuite, or BuzzSumo

You can experiment and see what works for each tool.
 
You can try to test these tool:
  • BuzzSumo – Great for finding the most shared or engaged posts by keyword. You can filter by time (last 24h, week, month, year) and even sort by engagement metrics.
  • Meta Ad Library – While it’s more ad-focused, you can search by keyword and see active ads, which can indicate trending topics.
  • Crowdtangle (by Meta) – Ideal for tracking public posts from pages and groups. It allows filtering by time and engagement, but you’ll need access (usually available to media, academics, or large brands).
  • Postpace or Social Searcher – Offer keyword-based search across social platforms, including Facebook, with time-based filters.

Hope it can help u

To track your most viral Facebook posts by keyword and filter by time, you can use the following tools: Keyhole, BuzzSumo, and Sprout Social. These tools offer powerful features for tracking keywords, hashtags, and analyzing Facebook post performance, including the ability to filter by time period (24 hours, week, month, year).
 
BuzzSumo can help you do just that.
 
To track viral FB posts by keyword and time, you can use professional support tools, however, FB does not provide internal tools for this feature.
 
Tools like BuzzSumo, Crowdtangle (by Meta), and Brand24 are great for tracking viral Facebook posts by keyword. Crowdtangle lets you filter by time (last 24h, 7 days, etc.) and engagement type. If you want historical trends and deeper analytics, BuzzSumo is more comprehensive but may require a subscription.
 
Meta Ad Library is great resource, even though it focuses on ads, it can still help identify trending topics through active ads. Other tools like Postpace and Social Searcher also offer keyword-based searches across social platforms, including Facebook.
 
To track viral posts by keyword and timeframe, you'll generally look for platforms that offer social listening or content discovery features. Many services cater to this. You'd feed in your keywords and specify the time range you're interested in. Look for options that provide trending data and engagement levels. Some free options might give you a taste, but for in-depth filters, paid services are usually the way to go.
 
BuzzSumo, CrowdTangle, and Sprout Social are the best tools to track viral Facebook posts by keyword and timeframe (24h, 7 days, 30 days, 1 year).
 
is it okay if we find a person who is special in IT so that he can create a tool for us?
