The author created FBIntelPy, an open-source Python tool inspired by IntelTechniques for Facebook searches, which helped submit three flags in the TraceLab Search Party CTF by filtering posts from MP's relatives using keywords.

TraceLab Search Party CTF 2026.02 just concluded earlier, and I am really happy that I was actually able to submit three flags using my open-source FB search tool, FBIntelPy. The Posts search type was the most useful of the bunch as it streamlined the filtering of posts made by the MP's relatives based on keywords.
I was inspired to create an open-source Python counterpart of IntelTechnique's web-based search tool (IntelTechnique also has search tools for other social media websites) when I was preparing for the CTF. I also updated certain filter URLs since Facebook has been busy in changing (and even deprecating) their filtering capabilities.
