Facebook can be queried by the web gui (GraphSearchQuery) but also by url
Example:
https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=stackexchange%20facebook&
filters_rp_creation_time={"start_year"%3A"2011"%2C"end_month"%3A"2011-01"}&
filters_rp_location=155428381137989
This filters_rp_location maps to 40°42'32.5"N+74°00'24.2"W
Does someone know where I can find more documentation on these url-parameters?
Best Answer
There is no public documentation on these parameters.
The
filters_rp_location
seems to just take a Facebook ID. In your case155428381137989
which is https://www.facebook.com/pages/110-William-St-New-York-NY/155428381137989If you're looking to use Facebook Graph Search, you will have to build the query
So, a query for posts at "110 William St New York, NY"
https://www.facebook.com/search/str/155428381137989/stories-at
A query for posts with the words "stackexchange facebook"
https://www.facebook.com/search/str/stackexchange%20facebook/stories-keyword
A query to match the year "2011"
https://www.facebook.com/search/2011/date/stories
Then finally an intersection of all three queries
For example
https://www.facebook.com/search/str/155428381137989/stories-at/str/stackexchange%20facebook/stories-keyword/2011/date/stories/intersect
The above intersection query doesn't work (either because Facebook Search is failing or there actually is no data there), but you get the idea.
For completeness here is another example
Results for 2013 for the string Richard:
https://www.facebook.com/search/str/155428381137989/stories-at/str/richard/stories-keyword/2013/date/stories/intersect
No Results in 2016:
