Introduction

Get to know the network operators that enable the collection of specific organic posts and comments on Facebook.

The network operators have the role of collecting only organic and public posts from a page, comments made on the page, comments on a specific post, or visitor posts made on the page. This way, it's possible to monitor pages and external posts of interest. 

 

How to use?

The network operators are inserted within groups and themes in the Search Configuration, and each one has a specific purpose. Understand the differences between them:

To access this area, you can click on "Edit Search": 

facebookid: 

 

At the time the operator is registered in the search, the system can include the latest 100 posts from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the specific post is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the post (within the described limitations) will be included in the search. 

2. When the specific post is in the STILINGUE database.

If the post is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This post may have been included through other searches for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to posts made after the operator's registration.

Note: Publication collection only occurs when network operators are inserted into the Groups. When inserted into the Themes, they will serve as classifiers for the content collected by the descriptors contained in the Groups. Explore other specific operators for classification in this guide.

Important! To ensure page collection in Listening, it is necessary to use the ID descriptor within the Group. It is not required to be in the profiles, as they serve different functions.

Remember:

• Add Profiles: it enters the search only if there is a match with any descriptor of the groups;
• Network Operator: collects all profile's publications. When inserted in a group, it collects everything it covers and ensures the match with the specified group.

Within the research, the operator looks like this:

Locating the ID: Adding Profiles

It is possible to obtain the page ID by adding the profile to a group/theme using the page name you want to identify the ID.

 

How to add profiles

If we want to monitor a page on Facebook, we need to know the name of the page to be monitored.

After checking the page you want to monitor, go to the "Add profiles to the search" tab. Select the network and enter the username (exactly as it is written on the network):

 

facebookcommentsid:

 

At the time the operator is registered in the study, the system may include comments from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the comment in question is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the comment (within the limitations described above) will be included in the study. 

2. When the comment in question is in the STILINGUE database

If the comment is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This comment may have entered through other searches looking for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to comments made after the operator's registration.

In addition, for this operator, only comments on older publications than the date when the operator was registered will be collected (retroactively), if the publication that received these comments is among the 100 most recent in relation to the moment of the operator's registration in the Search Configuration. 

Within the search, the operator looks like this:

 

 

facebookcommentspid:

 

At the time the operator is registered in the study, the system may include comments from the last 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the comment in question is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the comment (within the limitations described above) will be included in the study. 

2. When the comment in question is in the STILINGUE database

If the comment is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This comment may have entered through other searches looking for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to comments made after the operator's registration.

Within the search, the operator looks like this:

Did you notice there's a "p" in this operator, which sets it apart from the previous one? This "p" refers to a publication; hence, it gathers comments from a single post.

To locate the page ID, simply follow the steps explained earlier, using the "Add Profiles to Search" tab. Identify the ID of a post by clicking on the date it was made. After that, select the number sequence that appears after "posts":

To insert both IDs into the operator, first enter the page ID, separate it with "_" and append the post ID:

Within the search, the operator looks like this:

 

facebookvisitorsid:

 

At the time the operator is registered in the search, the system can include the last 100 posts from the past 2 days. 

Next, two different situations may occur for retrospective collection:

1. When the specific post is not in the STILINGUE database.

In this case, the post (within the described limitations) will be included in the search. 

2. When the specific post is in the STILINGUE database.

If the publication is already in the database, it will not be included in the search. This post may have been included through other searches for similar terms. Therefore, the collection guarantee will apply to publications made after the operator's registration.

To locate the page ID, simply follow the steps explained earlier, using the "Add Profiles to Search" tab.
