The platform

Four data families, one contract.

Most teams end up stitching together an official API, a scraping library and a proxy vendor before they can ship a single data feature. socialmediaapi.lol collapses that into one REST surface with one auth header and one response envelope.

Facebook profiles, pages and posts; Instagram profiles, media and hashtags; public group posts and comments; and the full Meta ads library. Same key, same pagination, same error codes, same billing.

Included on every plan

  • Facebook profile, page, post and comment endpoints
  • Instagram profile, media, hashtag and comment endpoints
  • Public Facebook group posts, comments and search
  • Meta ads library search, advertiser and creative endpoints
  • Sandbox playground, code snippets and monitor webhooks
Endpoints

  • 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.
Architecture

Built to be left running.

Requests are distributed across a managed pool with automatic retries, back off and rotation, so upstream throttling never becomes your on call problem. Endpoints are versioned, and a deprecation window is published before any contract changes.

Response times sit under 400 milliseconds at the median because data is fetched at request time. Nothing you receive is served from a shared cache that someone else poisoned last week.

Operational guarantees

  • 99.95 percent rolling 12 month uptime
  • Bursts to 500 requests per second on every plan
  • Machine readable error codes with retry hints
  • Versioned endpoints with published deprecation windows
  • US and EU edge locations, no payload retention
Why socialmediaapi.lol

Why teams pick our Social Media API

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

Unified authentication

One long lived key across every platform and endpoint.

Unified schema

The same envelope, error codes and pagination everywhere.

No infrastructure

No proxies, no browser farm, no session refresh jobs.

Credit pricing

Per page of results, not per seat. Rollover on annual plans.

Sandbox playground

Inspect every response shape before you commit to a plan.

Monitor webhooks

Subscribe to new posts, new ads or keyword matches.

Pricing

Pay for data, not for seats.

Every plan is priced in credits rather than users, so a two person team and a fifty person team pay the same for the same volume of data. One page of results costs one credit, and ads search with full creatives costs five.

Start on the free plan to validate the data shape, move to Pro when a side project starts returning value, and step up to Ultra or Mega when a pipeline is pulling millions of records a month.

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
