TL;DR

List a Facebook Page's events — local startDate, timezone, venue. 2 credits. The Facebook Profile Events API (Facebook Events) is a single authenticated GET request to /v1/facebook/profile-events that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.

What is the Facebook Profile Events API?

Pass a Facebook Page URL and get that page's /events list as clean JSON using the same Event shape as Event Search / Event Details — every field present, null when the profile card omits it (description, endDate, duration, image, organizers, ticketsUrl, categories, …). startDate is ISO with host offset (year resolved from yearless cards like "Tue, Aug 4 at 8:00 PM EDT"); startTime always includes the year; eventType is the discovery category when known; visibility is public|private|… (not PUBLIC_TYPE). Envelope includes source (native|extended) for the fetch path. Billing: flat 2 credits on every successful call.

What you get

Bulk list of profile events with metadata
Dates, URLs, and engagement fields when available
