Why pick CreatorCrawl over the Meta Graph API?
The official Meta Graph API is the first place most developers look. Here is why teams building real products switch off it.
Meta Graph API
- Designed around apps, permissions, access tokens, and assets connected to your business
- Most useful permissions require App Review and business verification
- No general endpoint for arbitrary public Marketplace listings
- Public page and group access is narrower than what a logged-out visitor can see
- Multiple products and permission sets for Pages, Marketing, and Ad Library data
CreatorCrawl
- No approval process, sign up in 60 seconds
- Pay-as-you-go credits, never expire, no subscription
- One key covers every supported platform
- Real-time data on every request, 50 free credits on signup

Frequently asked questions about the Facebook API
Which Facebook data can I access?
CreatorCrawl covers public page profiles, posts, Reels, photos, comments and replies, groups, events, Marketplace listings, and public Meta Ad Library data. Private profiles and gated content are not available.
Do target Facebook pages need to authorize my app?
No. These endpoints read publicly visible data from the URL or ID you provide. Your users do not need to connect each target page through Facebook Login.
Can I publish posts or manage ads?
No. CreatorCrawl is read-only. Use Meta’s official APIs when you need to publish, manage owned assets, or change campaigns.
Is there a free Facebook profile viewer?
Yes. The free Facebook Profile Viewer reads one public page URL at a time without login. Use the API for bulk or scheduled lookups.
