By accessing or using SocialAPIs ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access or use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
2. Description of Service
SocialAPIs provides application programming interfaces (APIs) that return publicly available Facebook and Instagram data on request. The Service includes:
- The REST API for public Facebook data (pages, groups, posts, comments, Ads Library, Marketplace)
- The REST API for public Instagram data (profiles, posts, reels, highlights, locations, search)
- Official SDKs (Python, JavaScript, Go), the n8n node and the MCP server for AI agents
- The dashboard, usage statistics and request logs for your account
SocialAPIs is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta Platforms, Inc. Facebook and Instagram are trademarks of Meta Platforms, Inc.
3. Account Registration
To use certain features of the Service, you must register for an account. You agree to:
- Provide accurate, current, and complete information
- Maintain and promptly update your account information
- Maintain the security of your account and API keys
- Accept responsibility for all activities under your account
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use
4. API Usage and Restrictions
4.1 Permitted Use
You may use the API to:
- Access publicly available Facebook and Instagram data
- Build applications and integrations for legitimate business purposes
- Research and analyze public pages, posts, ads and trends
- Monitor public content about your own brand, products or market
4.2 Prohibited Use
You may NOT use the API to:
- Attempt to access private or non-public information
- Track, profile, or surveil individuals, or build databases of private persons
- Send spam or unsolicited messages to people found through the Service
- Harass, discriminate against, or harm any person
- Process personal data without a lawful basis under applicable data protection law (such as the GDPR or CCPA)
- Engage in any illegal activity
- Resell or share API access or API keys without our written permission
- Circumvent rate limits or access controls
- Infringe on intellectual property rights
- Distribute malware or harmful code
- Build a competing data API by reselling data obtained from SocialAPIs
4.3 Your Responsibility for Data
You decide what data you request and how you use it. You are responsible for complying with all laws that apply to your use, including data protection, privacy and consumer protection laws, and for any terms that apply to you as a user of the platforms the data comes from.
4.4 Rate Limits
API usage is subject to rate limits based on your plan. Requests above your limit are rejected with an HTTP 429 response until the limit resets. Repeated or deliberate attempts to get around limits may lead to suspension. Current limits are listed on our pricing page.
4.5 Availability
We work to keep the Service available and fast, but it is provided on a best-effort basis without a guaranteed uptime unless you have a separate written agreement with us. Data comes from third-party platforms that can change without notice, so individual endpoints may be temporarily unavailable or return less data.
5. Pricing and Payment
5.1 Subscription Plans
We offer a free plan and paid monthly subscription plans with different credit allowances and rate limits. Prices are listed on our pricing page. We will give existing subscribers at least 30 days' notice by email before a price change applies to them.
5.2 Payment Terms
- Payments are processed securely through Stripe
- Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance and renew automatically until cancelled
- You can cancel at any time; your plan stays active until the end of the paid period
- One-off credit top-ups are billed when you buy them
- You are responsible for all applicable taxes
5.3 Refunds
Paid plans come with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If SocialAPIs does not meet your needs within fourteen (14) calendar days of the initial payment, email support@socialapis.io and we will issue a full refund to the original payment method. No forms, no friction. The 14-day window applies to each new paid subscription independently (the first paid month or year); subsequent renewals of an existing subscription are not covered. One-off credit top-ups are non-refundable once the credits have been delivered to your account.
5.4 Credits
API calls use credits, which are deducted from your account balance. Most calls cost 1 credit; the cost of each call is shown in the response headers. Your balance can include two kinds of credits, used in this order:
- Plan credits: included with your plan each month. Unused plan credits do not roll over to the next month.
- Top-up credits: bought separately. They carry over between months but may expire if you downgrade your plan.
Credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred to another account.
