FAQ
Facebook Profile API questions
How much does the Facebook Profile API cost?
1 credit per successful call. Errors and cached results are free, and new accounts start with 100 free credits, no card required. See pricing.
Do I need a Facebook account or API key?
No. You only need a Scraperize API key, sent in the x-api-key header. Scraperize returns publicly available data. No Facebook login or developer app is needed.
How fresh is the data?
Each call fetches the data live. To trade freshness for cost, pass cache_max_age (e.g. 1h, 1d) to get a recent cached result instantly for 0 credits.
Where are the full parameters and response fields?
In the API reference, with every parameter, field and error.
