For a photo post, index picks the picture and the answer adds index and count, the number of pictures in the post. ?post=7681723633164717325&index=2 answers:

Errors

Status	Code	Meaning
400	`INVALID_PARAMS`	A parameter is missing, unknown or out of range. The message names it.

402	`INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE`	The balance does not cover this call. Top up in the dashboard.
404	`NOT_FOUND`	The account, post or group does not exist, or is private, deleted or age-restricted.
429	`MARKETPLACE_SATURATED`	Too many concurrent calls. Retry after the `Retry-After` seconds.

Pricing

Price $0.002 per call. List price; the rate steps down above 1,000 calls a day.

Notes

The response is {postId, contentType, bytes, encoding: "base64", data}, plus index and count for a photo post. Decode data to get the file: the MP4 of a video, or the picture (contentType says which, e.g. image/jpeg).
An index past the last picture answers 400 INVALID_PARAMS with the post's picture count. A video has one file, so any index above 1 is refused the same way.
Files over 64 MB answer 400 VIDEO_TOO_LARGE. A call costs 2 units.
