How much does a Facebook data API cost?

At SocialAPIs most calls cost 1 credit, and plans are flat: Free 200 calls a month, Pro $4.99 for 1,500, Ultra $49 for 30,000 and Mega $179 for 120,000 a month, about $1.49 per 1,000 calls on the largest plan. No bandwidth or compute fees.

Meta's official option

Meta's APIs (Graph API, Ad Library API) are free to call, but they only cover your own accounts and, for ads, political / issue and EU ads.

How to do it with SocialAPIs

A few calls cost more because they do more work, and the price is listed per endpoint: for example /facebook/pages/details costs 1 credit; 5 credits when exact_followers_count=true. Every response says what it charged (X-SocialAPIs-Credits-Deducted header), and GET /usage shows your balance (Free to call).

Endpoints

  • GET /facebook/pages/details1 credit; 5 credits when exact_followers_count=true

    Get Facebook page details.

    Params: link (required), exact_followers_count, page_section

    Facebook Page Details: docs and playgroundMCP: facebook_page → details

  • GET /usageFree

    Get current credit usage and plan info. Free — does not consume credits.
