Why teams use Social Fetch for Facebook

Facebook still holds page, group, and ads surfaces that marketing and research teams need — even when their primary creator work moved to Instagram and TikTok. Homegrown Facebook scrapers inherit the same DOM and auth-wall problems as every other Meta property.

Social Fetch groups Facebook under one tag: public profiles and pages, posts and reels, group content, Marketplace search helpers, transcripts, and Ad Library lookups. Responses use the shared envelope so Facebook rows sit next to Instagram in the same warehouse.

Ad Library routes matter when you track competitor spend creatives without building a separate ads-only integration.

What Facebook data can you get?

  • Public profile / page cards.
  • Posts, reels, and comment threads.
  • Group content for community research (public groups).
  • Marketplace location search helpers.
  • Ad Library advertiser and ad lookups.
  • Transcripts for video posts where supported.

How to call the Facebook API

  1. 1. Get an API key

    Create a Social Fetch account and key. Smoke-test a page profile and an Ad Library call with free credits.

  2. 2. Call Facebook paths

    Use `/v1/facebook/...` routes documented in the API reference. Pass public IDs or URLs as required by each operation.

  3. 3. Store envelope fields

    Persist `lookupStatus`, payload fields you care about, and `meta.requestId` for support traces.

How much does the Facebook API cost?

Facebook operations are credit-priced individually. Ad Library and list routes may differ from a single page GET. Confirm on each docs page.

Social Fetch vs the official Facebook API

Meta's official marketing and Graph APIs cover assets and ads accounts you control. Social Fetch is for public page, group, Marketplace, and Ad Library style lookups when you are not the page owner.
