## Why not the official Facebook API?

Reading Pages you don't manage through Meta's Graph API takes the Page Public Content Access feature, which needs App Review and business verification.

- ### No approval to wait for

  One API key works on every endpoint. There's no app to get reviewed and no account to connect.
- ### Anything public

  Read what anyone can see without logging in, not only the accounts you manage or that authorized your app.
- ### No daily quota

  You pay per request. Plans have no rate limit, only a ceiling that stops a runaway loop.

## Call the Facebook API from your code.

Copy the request for your language, or hand it to your agent.

Facebook Post Try in

```
const params = new URLSearchParams({
  url: "https://www.facebook.com/reel/4075684206061398/",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://socialtap.dev/v1/facebook/post?${params}`, {
  headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.SOCIALTAP_API_KEY ?? "" },
});
const body = await res.json();
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${body.error.code}: ${body.error.message}`);
const { data, meta } = body;
console.log(data, meta.credits_charged);
```

## Frequently asked questions

What you send, what comes back and how your agent uses it.

[Contact us](mailto:support@socialtap.dev)

**Are the counts exact?**

Yes. Reaction, comment, share and view counts are the exact figures Facebook's page states, not the rounded ones it displays.

**Are the follower counts exact?**

Yes. The follower count is Facebook's exact figure, not the rounded one in the profile's header. On the rare answer where only the rounded count was available, approximate_fields lists it.

**Can I get all the comments on a post?**

Yes, every top-level comment Facebook serves, a page at a time: next_cursor is set until the last one, in either order. The Facebook Comment Replies API returns each comment's replies.

**Does the Facebook Video Transcript API work on videos without captions?**

Yes. When Facebook has no caption track for the video, its audio is transcribed with speech-to-text, up to a length limit, and source is asr.
