Darks posts are promoted unpublished posts on facebook. Basically it's a marketing tool to post ads. Thing is when a person comments on a dark post it does not show up in their notifications.
Is there an API call to show the comments written to Facebook Dark posts? I have tried /promotable_posts?include_hidden=true and others but have not found a syntax that pulls up the dark posts let alone the comments associated with them. Any Help would be appreciated.
(I have done something similar for public posts so I am familiar with calling and testing the facebook API.)
You were almost there, just that because of unclear Facebook documentation, you were unable to find it. In the documentation, just below include_hidden is an include_inline option which is described as
Used with the promotable_posts edge only. Filters by whether the post was created inline via object_story_spec in the Ads API. This used to be called is_inline
/promotable_posts?include_inline=true
On calling this endpoint, you get all the dark posts of the page. This end point returns the dark posts even if you do not have the ads_management scope in your page access token.
For the new versions of Graph API
/{page-id}/ads_posts?include_inline_create=true
You'll get all ads posts, Dark Posts also included ;)
