Facebook API to search public posts containing a particular hashtag

Is there any Facebook Graph API to search all public posts containing a particular hashtag?

Example:- I want to search all public posts containing #ChristmasEve

Solution

  • No, it is not possible anymore:

    Public Post search is no longer available

    There is the Public Feed API, but:

    Access to the Public Feed API is restricted to a limited set of media publishers and usage requires prior approval by Facebook. You cannot apply to use the API at this time.
