Facebook Profile Full API

Scrape Facebook Profile Full data with one API call. Fans out to the Facebook profile and recent-posts endpoints in parallel and returns the unified author, the recent-post list, and computed metrics: avg_engagement_rate, avg_engagement_rate_by_followers, posting cadence (with the window it was measured over), the top post, and the format mix. avg_engagement_rate is view-based: the mean of each post's (likes + comments + shares) / views, so only posts that carry a view count contribute, and it is null when none does. avg_engagement_rate_by_followers is the mean of likes + comments per post divided by the account's follower count, over every post that carries both, so it covers posts with no view count. One call reads one page of recent posts, which on Facebook is 3 posts, and computes the metrics over that page: `posts` can shorten the window but not lengthen it past one page, and `_warnings` says so when fewer posts came back than `posts` asked for. Pass `posts_cursor` back as `cursor` to read the next page, 5 credits a call. The profile leg is the only critical leg: if posts can't be fetched the call still returns the profile with post-dependent metrics null, and every leg's status is surfaced in legs[]. Flat 5 credits. For Facebook, `author.following` and `author.posts_count` remain null because the profile upstream does not provide those totals.

Last updated September 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team

Returns a page's profile plus its latest 3 posts and computed figures: engagement rate by views and by followers, posting cadence, top post, and format mix.

Use it instead of calling profile and profile/posts yourself; the profile still comes back even if the posts part fails.

Facebook API

What can you do with the Profile Full API?

The Profile Full endpoint gives you structured Facebook data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.

Example Request

curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/full?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmrbeast&posts=25"
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/full",
    params={
    'url': 'https://www.facebook.com/mrbeast',
    'posts': '25',
    },
    headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)

data = response.json()
const response = await fetch(
  "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/full?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmrbeast&posts=25",
  {
    headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
  },
);

const data = await response.json();

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
urlNoFull Facebook profile or page URL. One of the identity params is required.
postsNoHow many of the fetched recent posts to return and compute the metrics over (1-100, default 25). One call reads one page, which on Facebook is 3 posts, so a larger value returns that page and a `_warnings` note; pass posts_cursor back as cursor for the next page.
cursorNoPass a prior response's posts_cursor to read the next page of posts. Each call is a separate 5-credit call whose metrics cover that page only.
includeNoCSV subset of posts,computed (default both). include=computed omits the raw posts[] array from the response to save payload. The metrics are computed from the same fetched posts either way, so they do not change.
Example Response

What does the Facebook Profile Full API return?

Every response follows one unified schema. Here is a real, unmodified response body, so you can see the exact fields you get back before spending a credit.

FAQ

Contact us
What does the Facebook Analytics API return in one call?
One call to GET /v1/facebook/profile/full returns three things at once: the page, the recent posts, and computed analytics: average engagement rate, posting cadence (posts per week), the top post by engagement, and the format mix. No single endpoint produces that combination.
How do I fetch a page's page, posts, and analytics together?
Send a GET request to /v1/facebook/profile/full with the page URL in the url parameter. SocialCrawl fans out to the page and posts endpoints in parallel and merges them, so you get the page, recent posts, and computed metrics back in a single response instead of three separate calls.
What analytics does the facebook analytics api compute?
It computes four metrics over the recent posts: average engagement rate (the mean of each post's engagement rate), posts per week from the publish-date span, the top post by total engagement, and a format mix counting video, image, and text posts. These are deterministic, no AI guesswork.
How much does the facebook analytics api cost per call?
A flat 5 credits per call, regardless of how many posts come back. The page is the critical part: if the page can't be fetched the call fails and refunds; if only the posts are missing you still get the page and the call is charged. New accounts get 100 free credits, no card.
How many posts can I pull and can I page deeper?
The posts parameter caps the window from 1 to 100 posts (default 25), and every computed metric averages over exactly that window. The response returns a posts_cursor you can pass back on a follow-up call to deepen the post window when you need a longer history.
What happens if a page has no recent posts?
The page is the critical leg, so you always get it. If the posts can't be fetched the response returns the page with an empty posts array, the post-dependent analytics come back null honestly rather than faked, and the per-leg status is shown in the legs array.
