Real responses are complete. ## What you send and what comes back. The [response reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/facebook/events/index.md#response) lists every field, its type and when it is `null`. [See the full schema](https://socialtap.dev/resources/event/index.md). - ### Null means unknown A field Facebook Events doesn't show is null, never zero or an empty string, so a real zero always means zero. - ### What it accepts The Facebook profile (a Page's or a person's): its vanity name (jannuslive, case-insensitive), its numeric profile ID, or any link to it: facebook.com/\ with any tab after it, profile.php?id=…, /people/\/\, /p/\-\. - ### What comes back Public events with their start and end, time zone, venue or online flag, hosts, categories, ticket link and attendance. - **`platform`string**: Platform ID (facebook, …). - **`id`string**: Platform-native event ID (string; Facebook's numeric event ID). - **`url`string**: Canonical event page URL (https://www.facebook.com/events/\/). - **`name`string**: The event's name as its page shows it. - **`description`string**: Its description as plain text; null when it has none. - **`status`string**: At fetch time: scheduled (not started), ongoing (started, not over), ended (over), canceled (called off by its hosts); unknown when the source that answered does not show it (a fallback whose results hold only a name and a picture). New values may be added; treat any other value as unknown. - **`start_at`string**: When it starts, RFC 3339 UTC; null only when the platform shows no start. - **`end_at`string**: When it ends, RFC 3339 UTC; null when its hosts set no end or the platform does not show it.

The profile's name, picture and badge are filled when you send it by name. - The list holds what Facebook shows logged out, which for a person can be far fewer events than the count on their tab. - A profile with no events, or none in the tab you ask for, returns an empty list. - A link to a profile's past_hosted_events tab reads as the profile: send time=past for those events. - An unknown name, a profile not open to the public and a deactivated one all return private_or_unavailable, because Facebook answers them alike. ## 1 credit per page.

More in the [API reference](https://socialtap.dev/docs/reference/facebook/events/index.md). **How is this different from the Facebook City Events API?** This one lists the events a Page or person hosts. The Facebook City Events API lists the events Facebook files under a city, whoever hosts them. **How much does the Facebook Page Events API cost?** A page of up to 8 upcoming and past events costs 1 credit. Every successful page is charged, empty pages included. SocialTap credits cost $0.75–$1.97 per 1,000, depending on the plan or pack. **How do I get the next page?** Repeat the same request with cursor set to page.next_cursor from the previous response, keeping the other parameters. When page.has_more is false there are no more pages. Cursors expire after 24 hours.
