Quick answers

Do I actually need a credit card to start?+
No. The Free tier is 200 API calls per month with no card. Sign up with email, verify, get your API token, start calling. We don't ask for billing details until you decide to upgrade.
How long does it really take to make my first API call?+
Signup + email verify takes ~60 seconds. Copying your API token from the dashboard and running the curl example below takes ~30 seconds. If you have curl installed already, you'll have a real Facebook Page response on your terminal within 2 minutes of clicking 'Create free key'.
What platforms are live today?+
Facebook and Instagram. Facebook coverage: Pages, Groups, Posts, Reels, Comments, Ads Library, Marketplace. Instagram: profiles, posts, reels, highlights, location search. TikTok, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube are on the roadmap; sign in to vote which one we build next.
Why doesn't this need OAuth or a Facebook app review?+
Meta's Graph API requires you to register a Facebook app and request permissions, which then expire and need re-review. SocialAPIs proxies public Facebook + Instagram data — the kind of data anyone with a browser can see — through one auth-free REST API. Your code uses an `x-api-token` header you got from our dashboard; no OAuth dance.
What happens when I hit the free tier limit?+
You get rate-limited (HTTP 429) until the next billing cycle. No surprise charges, no auto-upgrade. Upgrade to Pro ($4.99/mo, 1,500 calls) or Ultra ($49/mo, 30,000 calls) when you need more. Cancel anytime.
