Let's say I use Facebook mobile app and want to get a link for given post, but the app only gives me an opportunity to "copy link" which looks like the following: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10153449192633553&id=19292868552
Is there a way to convert it somehow to a link pointing to a post on full Facebook website? I'm not looking for a certain tool necessarily. Some kind of algorithm will also be fine.
It's not very intuitive but it's possible.
You'd go to this Facebook page. You'll need to be logged in.
In the graph API form field you'll enter
select permalink from stream where post_id='19292868552_10153449192633553'
Notice it's the reverse of the elements in your original mobile URL.
story_fbid=10153449192633553&id=19292868552
After you run it, you'll get https://www.facebook.com/FacebookforDevelopers/posts/10153449192633553
which is the URL to the non-mobile version of the page.
https://www.facebook.com/19292868552/posts/10153449192633553
remove the m. and swap the graph ids like this:
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=__PID__&id=__UID__
https://facebook.com/__UID__/posts/__PID__
I found out there is an easier way than suggested in every other answer. It seems that "fbid" is a global identifier in Facebook. Using just it, one can access content it is pointing to like this: facebook.com/{fbid}, for example:
m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10157028479758918&id=6344818917
becomes
facebook.com/10157028479758918 (then the redirect follows)
