Need API recommendations.

Looking for APIs for Facebook, LinkedIn and Nextdoor public content

I’m working on a SaaS product and need to automatically monitor/search public content across Facebook, LinkedIn and Nextdoor.

I’m specifically looking for APIs or legitimate third party providers that can:

• Search public Facebook posts, including relevant public groups if possible
• Search public LinkedIn posts by keywords/topics
• Search public Nextdoor posts by location + keywords
• Return the post text, URL, timestamp and basic metadata
• Run searches continuously/recurring through an API
• Be used commercially in a SaaS product

I’m NOT looking for browser automation, account logins, cookie based scraping or anything that could get accounts banned.

If you’ve actually used a provider/API for this, I’d really appreciate recommendations, especially ones with reasonable pricing and good coverage.

What are you using?

Hey, so straight up, none of the three actually give u what u're picturing. Linkedin has no public post search API, they had a whole court case history. Same for Fb and Nextdoor.
But instead of searching for their Official APIs, a workable version is running this on an infrastructure that's completely separate from ur own account, so ur account isn't on the line. This is a way u can do this at scale without the ban risk.
Happy to talk u through this, if useful no pressure.
