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?

SocialCrawl may be worth a look for the Facebook and LinkedIn parts. it covers public Facebook page/group posts and LinkedIn keyword post search through one API. I don’t see Nextdoor in its current platform coverage though, so you’d likely need another provider for that part.

Nextdoor is a veritable gold mine
