The data

Facebook data,
ready to work with.

A Facebook page profile gives a name and public audience context; the feed shows what that page has published. Retrieve a page, then collect its available posts before opening individual conversations for comments. Store each post URL with the returned text so someone can inspect the source behind an analysis. Public group operations are separate from page feeds and require their own supported inputs. Monocrawl returns structured records for these workflows through one key. A response is a snapshot of what the source returned, not a complete history of posts, comments or private account activity.

Monocrawl vs Data365
Monocrawl vs EnsembleData

Can I read private Facebook profiles or groups?

No. These operations are for supported public records. A private profile, closed group or message thread is outside this page’s coverage.

Is Meta Ad Library included here?

No. Facebook page and post routes are separate from the Meta Ad Library catalogue, which lists public ad search operations.

Does a page feed include every historical post?

No. The posts route returns the available window from its source. Follow any documented continuation and retain each post URL; a missing item does not establish that it was deleted.

What Facebook operations can I use?

The catalogue shows 23 currently available operations with their individual prices. Open an endpoint for its accepted inputs, returned fields and limitations.

How much does the Facebook API cost?

Start with 150 free credits. Paid subscriptions start at $29 per month for 10,000 credits, before applicable tax. Each operation has its own price. Check the endpoint reference for variable charges. Compare plans

How do I authenticate requests?

Use your Monocrawl API key in the x-api-key header. The endpoint reference lists any additional inputs needed for the operation. Authentication guide

What request limits apply?

Limits depend on your Monocrawl plan. The Free account ceiling is 600 requests per minute and 50 simultaneous requests. Endpoint capacity and Free daily protections also apply; these ceilings do not guarantee source throughput. Read the limits guide

What should I know about Facebook coverage?

Public retrieval does not provide access to private profiles, closed-group conversations or messages. A returned feed is not a complete archive. A missing record does not prove that content was deleted.

Is Monocrawl affiliated with Facebook?

Monocrawl is an independent service. Third-party names identify data sources and do not imply a partnership or endorsement.
