Pull details, transcripts, summaries, and comments from public Facebook videos and pages. Every endpoint is a single authenticated GET request that responds with predictable JSON, so the data drops straight into dashboards, AI pipelines, RAG systems, and no-code automations. AI agents can call the same endpoints as MCP tools via @captapi/mcp.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Facebook API?+
The Facebook API is a REST API from Captapi that returns public Facebook data as clean, structured JSON. It covers 16 endpoints — Details, Transcript, Summarizer, Comments, Page Details, Profile Posts, and more — behind one Bearer API key, with no OAuth flow and no scrapers to build or maintain.
What data can I get from the Facebook API?+
Pull details, transcripts, summaries, and comments from public Facebook videos and pages. Each endpoint is a single GET request that responds with predictable JSON fields, so the data is ready for dashboards, AI pipelines, and automations.
Do I need a Facebook developer account or OAuth?+
No. You only need a Captapi key (capt_live_...), sent as an Authorization: Bearer header. The same key works across all 29 platforms Captapi supports. We handle proxies, rate limits, retries, and parsing for you.
How much does the Facebook API cost?+
Facebook endpoints cost between 1 and 40 credits per call, depending on the endpoint and how many results you request. New accounts start with 100 free credits (no credit card), and repeat calls are served from a 24-hour cache for 0 credits.
Can AI agents use the Facebook API?+
Yes. Every Facebook endpoint is exposed as a tool in the official MCP server (@captapi/mcp) for Claude, Cursor, and VS Code, and is also available through the @captapi/cli CLI, an n8n community node, a Make.com app, and an Apify Actor.
Is the Facebook API suitable for production use?+
Yes. It is a stable REST API with predictable JSON, automatic retries, upstream fallbacks, and a shared 24-hour cache. Only successful responses consume credits — failed or empty results are never charged.
