Facebook Scraper API
Facebook API: 21 endpoints for profiles, posts, comments, groups, reels, photos, events, Marketplace listings, and the full Ad Library — ads, advertiser search, and ad transcripts. From 1 credit per request, 100 free credits on signup — no credit card. One x-api-key header instead of Graph API tokens, app review, or Business verification.
TL;DR
The Facebook API by SocialCrawl returns Facebook data as structured JSON — 22 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 41 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.

}How does SocialCrawl handle 42 different platforms?
Social media scraping is hard. Schema normalization, authentication, rate limits, pagination — we handle it all before your data arrives.
Write once, query them all.
42 platforms return 42 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.
Metrics ready before you ask.
Engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, language — calculated on every response automatically.
One cursor, every platform.
Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.
Live data, never cached.
Every request hits the actual platform. No stale data, no cache lag.
Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.
Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
How does SocialCrawl compare to Meta Graph API for Facebook data?
Same Facebook data, two very different paths. Auth, rate limits, schema, and cost — side by side.
| Feature | SocialCrawl | Meta Graph API |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | One x-api-key header | Access tokens via Facebook Login, scoped per permission |
| Setup / approval | Sign up and call in under a minute | Meta developer app, app review, and Business verification for many permissions |
| Rate limits | Pay per request in credits, with no per-app quota | Per-app and per-user rate limits |
| Data coverage | Public pages, posts, comments, groups, reels, events, Marketplace, and the Ad Library | Strongest for pages you manage; public-content access is heavily restricted |
| Response schema | Unified JSON envelope shared across 42 platforms | Graph node-and-edge payloads |
| Pricing | From 1 credit per request, 100 free credits to start | Free within rate limits |
| Maintenance | Schema stays stable when Facebook changes its frontend | Official support, plus publishing, insights, and messaging for owned pages |
