## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-direct-facebook-events-search-c7822abe
```

Example prompt: Search Facebook for jazz concerts happening between July 1 and July 31, 2025 — pull back 3 pages of results so we get a good variety.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to surface Facebook-specific public events by keyword — especially for local event discovery, community gatherings, concerts, festivals, or meetups where Facebook is the dominant listing platform. It supports multi-page fetching and date/location filtering, making it suitable for comprehensive event research tasks rather than single-event lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Unrecognized 'location_id' returns empty results or an error
- Date strings not in YYYY-MM-DD format may be rejected
- Requesting more than 15 pages returns a validation error
- Facebook may return sparse results for niche or low-activity queries
- Payment failure (402) if insufficient USDC balance — each page costs $0.009 USDC
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

Search for Facebook events by keyword.

## Output

A merged list of Facebook event records across the requested number of pages, typically including event names, dates, times, locations, descriptions, and links, scoped to the keyword and optional date/location filters provided.
