What it does not do

Anything a signed-out visitor cannot open: private videos, stories, and posts inside closed groups. Facebook shows those to an account rather than to the public, and this API does not pretend otherwise.

Field-by-field detail is on the response shape page.

Code examples

The same request in four languages. Swap in the key from your dashboard and it runs as it is.

curl -G 'https://api.gapi.dev/facebook' \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1QzLKegBTA' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: gapi_live_your_key_here'

One call, one request

A carousel with ten slides costs the same as a single photo: one charge against your balance. You pay for calls, not for files.
