:bullseye: What is your goal?

Is it possible to monitor and get new post of other FB pages which I don’t have the admin right? such as the competitor facebook post.

You can do that with third-party APIs, like these ones from RapidAPI.

How to call an API on RapidAPI

Use the HTTP “Make a Request” module:

  • Authentication type: API key

  • Connection: Reuse an existing RapidAPI connection, or add one:

    • Set API Key parameter name: x-rapidapi-key
    • Key: <YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY>
      Copy your private key from the endpoint test page
      — follow the Green underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

  • URL: Copy the endpoint URL from the endpoint test page
    — follow the Red underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

  • Header: Add a header with Name x-rapidapi-host, and the API Host as the Value
    Copy the API Host from the endpoint test page
    — follow the Blue underline/arrow shown in the screenshot

You can reuse this RapidAPI Credential “keychain” connection for all APIs on RapidAPI – you’ll just need to change the x-rapidapi-host header value based on the API you are calling. One easy way to do this is simply copy/clone this module that you’ve set up!

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

The Watch Facebook module usually triggers only when new events match the conditions set in the scenario. I’ve seen situations where nothing happens because the connection, permissions, or selected page settings aren’t configured correctly. Double checking the trigger configuration and running a quick test often helps confirm whether the module is actually listening for new activity.
