Facebook Public Feed Api search for Hashtags?

Question

I have a few Questions. Since Facebooks Graph API v2.0 you only get access to the Facebook Public Feed API if you request to gain a access from Facebook. And they only provide it to a few Media Companys.

So my first Question:

Is it posibly that i gain access if i request it?

My second Question:

I only want to search for all public posts with a specified Hashtag in it. For example i want to find all public posts with the Hashtag "#sports" in a specified timespan of 1 Year. Can i handle that with the normal Graph API of Facebook or do i have to do it through the Public Feed API?

And my last Question:

Are there any Providers who can provide me a service like that? So if i cant get access to the facebook public feed api, I can get the posts to another provider whitch has the premission to do it? Are there any Companies who can provide that? Pricing doesnt matter.

Cheers.

First Question:

Access to the Public Feed API is restricted to a limited set of media publishers and usage requires prior approval by Facebook. You cannot apply to use the API at this time.
