Facebook API
Public Pages and profiles with their contact details, posts, events and comments, plus the ads in Meta's Ad Library.
Overview
Get what anyone can see on a public Facebook Page or profile: contact details, posts, events and comments. Search Meta's Ad Library by keyword or by advertiser to see the ads a brand runs on Facebook and Instagram. Useful for social listening, lead lists, competitor research and swipe files.
