Hi,

I’m looking for a tool that can help me extract the IDs and links of all the groups bulk where a post from a Facebook page has been shared. Specifically, I need to track the shares of posts across different groups, including the links to those shares.

Additionally, I need to be able to comment on those posts using the extracted IDs. If you know of any tools or solutions that can achieve this, I’d greatly appreciate your recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

I have looked but was unable to find the information I need. It would be best to use the Ads Library on Facebook for this purpose. Could you kindly provide me with a direct link to access it?

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
These tools usually have to be paid to use, but if you do too much and too quickly, your Facebook account can be disabled.

i have a tools which can comment and post, but i need ID from all my post shared to comment,
 
I think you need to hire a worker to do it for you, but I've never seen this feature before
 
You need to be more specific.

Are you looking for groups where other people shared a certain post, where you know the post but don't know who shared it where and when? This can't be reliably automated as you don't know where to start looking.

Ideally, you want a predefined list of groups that you check periodically for a post. This list can be hard to compile and even harder to periodically visit without getting rate limited or blocked. Are you able to come up with a predefined list of groups like that? You'll need to do extensive market research to put it together and refresh it with new groups from time to time, this is the best way to go about it as you can't "parse entire FB group ecosystem" to find a certain post. Once you have a list of groups of a certain topic, performing automated checks for their daily posts is much easier albeit not entirely trivial since it is Facebook after all.

If groups are private, that adds a level of complexity as now you need to join to groups and get approved, you may need aged accounts for that and you won't be happy if they get blocked fast as well.

The extracted ID is basically an URL path to the post in the group. This can be extracted easily as long as you was able to find desired posts in your list of groups in the first place.

I am referring to the posts I’ve made using my Facebook page across various Facebook groups. I want to extract those posts from the groups to comment on them later using MaxCare. For this, I need the post ID for each individual post. That’s why I’m looking for a tool capable of extracting all the post IDs!

TO EXTRACT ALL LINK ALREADY SHARED !!

Actually I don't know where I can do that. It seems very complicated
 
Your best bet would be to hire a freelancer with coding knowledge to develop a customized tool that matches your needs

How many groups and how many posts per group? If the number is small, I suggest you manually copy IDs, which are part of the link under every post header, where it says how long ago it was posted.

If there is a lot of them, several 100 or 1000's, then you'll need a custom tool for it. I can give you a starting tip that you can't do it with JS query selectors or that would be as simple as 3 lines of code, because the post IDs are visible in HTML only after you hover over a link to open it. You'll need to intercept them as payload on API requests as they are coming in or find a way to trigger mouse hover programmatically but I doubt the basic JS tricks will work.

Thank you for the suggestion! I’m dealing with about four Facebook accounts, each sharing the main post to approximately 400 groups per account. My goal is to extract all the post IDs where the content was shared, so I can comment on them using my page—for example, to thank users for sharing.
You want to steal your competitor's data? How ugly!
Why would I have any interest in stealing from competitors when this is about my own business? My goal is to manage and optimize my work, not to interfere with anyone else’s.

Would you be able to sideload an extension and are you a familiar with developer console in browsers?
 
@lum4n4r3 I made you a little chrome extension that should solve your problem. Available here: https://github.com/JoeCapone/groupsIDcollector
I assume you know how to sideload chrome extensions. It is easy, you go to chrome://extensions/ then enable "Developer mode", click "Load unpacked" and select folder with unzipped extension from above.
  • It only works on group member profile, such as: https://www.facebook.com/groups/*****/user/*****/ where last ID would be your profile in a particular group.
  • Scrolling down on this page loads all your past posts.
  • When you reach the bottom, press left control + space and post IDs will be copied into your clipboard.
How it works video:

It is a very short piece of JavaScript (1000 characters) and extension doesn't require any permission except being able to run on pages that have URL matching facebook.com/groups/***groupID***/user/***authorID***/

I might later expand functionality and keep it available for everyone on BHW. Let me know if you have any feature ideas.
