+9The guidance indicates the command is:
metaData.inReplyTo.url:“http://www.facebook.com/346937065399354_3700677913358569”
However Facebook appear to have changed the URL format:
- is there another way to monitor Facebook comments for a specific post?
TIA

Hi
Thanks for following up!
I’m going to create a support ticket and follow up with you there. I would like to better understand the specific Facebook posts you are searching for, and cross-reference with the Facebook pages you are monitoring on your account. Facebook data is private to specific Meltwater accounts, so there are a lot of variables here that would be best worked out on a ticket.
I will update this thread with any key takeaways after we work out your examples 😊
Thank you!
+7Hey
+1Hey there
Facebook created Pseudonymized Facebook Identifiers (PFBIDs) for their URLs which combine timestamps and FBIDs to generate a unique time-rotating identifier for posts. However, if you click on the time stamp of the post, you will find the simplified version of the URL containing the post ID:
Redirects to this - https://www.facebook.com/BBCnewsafrica/posts/819019186249153
You can then proceed with the steps from the Help Center to find the Facebook Page ID and format the URL to use in the metaData.inReplyTo.url: operator.
Please let us know if there are any further questions!

I also looked at the embedded code -- it was exactly the same as the URL above -- however I did find a way to collect the post id’s here --
Meta Developers: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-posts/
Bit of going round the houses but got there in the end.
😥 -- Different versions of Facebook across the world may offer different views??
+1Hi
Interesting - thanks for sharing that workaround! I agree it is a bit manual though.
Another option would be to export your monitored Facebook content from the Content Stream to CSV file. The export will contain the simplified (non PFID-formatted) links in the URLs column.
I’m going to raise with our Product Support Engineers to see if they have any other suggestions on navigating to the simplified (non PFID-formatted) URLs directly on Facebook. I will update here with what we find. Thank you!
