What you can pull

Everything public about a Facebook presence, in JSON.

The Facebook endpoints cover the surface most data teams actually need: a profile by handle, a page by slug or vanity URL, the page feed with reaction and comment counts, keyword search across public posts, and full comment trees with authors and timestamps.

Every response uses the same envelope. A `status` field, a `data` object and a `credits_used` counter, so one parser in your codebase handles Facebook, Instagram, groups and the ads library without special cases.

Latency is typically under 400 milliseconds because responses are fetched at request time rather than served from a shared cache. What you read is what a visitor would see right now.

Popular Facebook endpoints

  • Profile lookup by handle, numeric ID or profile URL
  • Page metadata, follower counts and the latest feed items
  • Keyword and author search across public posts
  • Comment threads with parent and reply structure
  • Reaction breakdowns by type, including reactions over time

  • Read-only access. We never post, like or follow on your behalf.
  • Credit based pricing, so one page of data costs one credit.
  • Public data only, sourced from the platforms own public surfaces.
Why teams switch

The Graph API was not designed for read only data products.

The official Graph API assumes you own the page or have a user who consented. That model breaks the moment you want to benchmark a competitor, enrich a lead list or monitor a market. App review, business verification and a 60 day token refresh cycle are not a data pipeline, they are a support burden.

socialmediaapi.lol is built the other way around. You get a single long lived key, predictable per request pricing and endpoints shaped for reading public data at volume. No OAuth dance, no token expiry at 2am and no app review queue.

What you stop maintaining

  • App review submissions and business verification
  • Short lived user tokens and refresh jobs
  • Proxy rotation and request throttling logic
  • Per platform response normalization
Why socialmediaapi.lol

Why teams pick our Facebook API

The parts of a social data pipeline you would otherwise build and maintain yourself.

No app review

Skip the Graph API review queue. A key is issued the moment you sign in.

Request time freshness

Data is fetched when you ask for it, so nothing you receive is stale.

Normalized fields

One schema across Facebook, Instagram, groups and ads endpoints.

Credit based pricing

One page of results costs one credit. No seats, no minimums.

Cursor pagination

Page through long feeds deterministically with a stable cursor.

Public data only

Private profiles return an explicit marker instead of an error.

Built for

Teams that turn public Facebook data into product.

Social listening tools track brand and competitor mentions across pages and public posts. Sales teams enrich a handle into a full public profile before an outreach sequence. Market researchers size an audience and export the raw evidence behind the number.

Because pricing is per credit rather than per seat, a two person team and a fifty person team pay the same for the same volume of data. You can start on a single endpoint and add the rest without renegotiating anything.

Code examples

Three lines to your first response.

Send an API key, get JSON back. No OAuth dance, no browser automation and no session to keep warm.

  • Bearer token auth, one header for every endpoint
  • Cursor pagination on every list response
  • Errors carry a machine readable code and a retry hint
  • Sandbox and live modes share the same contract
