Best Choice Regex for extract the Facebook Link – Facebook api

i search the best regex method for the most functionality.

I search on Google and will extract the Facebook Links. Because Google has no Search API that works 1to1 with the exact Google Results i don’t can use the API.

I send now a normal request to google, extract the html code and will find all Facebook Link without google parameters.

Examples you find on regex debbuger.

I will see only this links if is possible.

    Try this:

    q=(https://www.facebook.com.*?)&

    Something like:

    “q=(https?://.*?facebook.com/)derName-/”

     "q=(https?://.*?facebook.com/)derName(?:%[^%]*%..|[-/])?([^&]‌​+)"

    might be what you are looking for. From what I see in your example, it looks like you want:
    everything from the http up to the first / after the domain. Then skip the derName, and then grab everything up to the next &. So this is going to use 2 capture groups. Hope that helps!
