Facebook Research Builder (Law-Firm Ready)
Script error. Refresh and try again.
Public Content & People
Be logged in to Facebook (EN-US UI helps). Date filters apply only to Posts & Videos.
Find IDs in page source: pageID / userID / groupID.
Ad Buy (Meta Ad Library)
Two workflows: (1) Company / Group (free-form, chip-based; optional suffix expansion) and (2) Ad Body Keyword (no advertiser).
A) Company / Group Names (Free-form)
Type a company (e.g., Sidley Austin, OpenAI, Merck) and press Enter or , to add. Add multiple to cover subsidiaries/regions.
Tip: add known aliases (e.g., “MSD”, “Merck KGaA”) as separate chips.
B) Ad Body Keyword Search (No Advertiser)
Search ad copy for a brand/term without naming the buying company.
Photos: Manual Workflow
Automated photo graph filters are unreliable. Use these dependable paths:
  1. Use Posts + photo terms: in the Builder, select Posts and include hints like "photo", "uploaded a new photo", or relevant hashtags; add a date range/Page ID as needed.
  2. Direct surfaces (when you know username or numeric ID):
    https://facebook.com/{username_or_id}/photos — timeline photos
    https://facebook.com/{username_or_id}/photos_stream — uploaded photos
    https://facebook.com/{username_or_id}/photos_by — photos of the subject
    https://m.facebook.com/{username_or_id}/photos — mobile surface (often loads when desktop stalls)
  3. External engine for public photo objects:
    site:facebook.com photo.php "Brand X" recall
    site:m.facebook.com/photo.php "Jane Public" event
  4. Preservation: capture full-page screenshots or export permalinks with timestamps/locale for evidentiary use.
