## What people build with the Facebook Followers API

- **Audience research.** See what kind of people and pages follow a brand in your market.
- **Find partners.** The pages a brand follows are often the partners and creators it works with.
- **Map a network.** Walk out from a few known pages to see who sits around them.

## Quote it, then run it

1. free quote: the exact price, nothing charged:

```bash
curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/facebook \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"followers","subjects":["natgeo"],"direction":"following","limit":25,"estimateOnly":true}'
```

2. the same call, run:

```bash
curl -X POST https://apiforagents.dev/v1/facebook \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AFA_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"op":"followers","subjects":["natgeo"],"direction":"following","limit":25}'
```

## Inputs

Everything you can send in one followers call. Required inputs first.

| Input | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| subjects * | text list | Page URLs or vanity handles. 1-3 items |
| direction | enum |  |
| limit | integer | 1-100 |

## What comes back

The fields of every row, always present. Nothing is guessed: a value that could not be measured is null, and the answer's coverage says why.

| Field | Type |
|---|---|
| profileId | string |
| followerName | string |
| profileUrl | string |
| avatarUrl | string |
| bio | string |
| relationship | string |
| details | object |

details is always the last field: everything else the source sent for that row, under our own field names. Its keys depend on the source that answered, so read them defensively; it is {} when there is nothing more.

## A sample answer

Made-up names and values in the real field names, so you can see the shape before you spend anything.

| followerName | bio | relationship | profileId | profileUrl | avatarUrl |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ravi Kumar | Coffee and cycling | follower | 624155740 | https://www.facebook.com/ravi-kumar-1000 | https://img.facebook.com/ravi-kumar.jpg |
| Lena Müller | Designer in Austin | follower | 3527258922 | https://www.facebook.com/lena-m-ller-1001 | https://img.facebook.com/lena-m-ller.jpg |

## Pricing

Pay as you go, in US dollars, per record. No subscription, nothing expires, $5 first top-up, and every new agent starts with $0.10 free.

| Request | Records | At the list price |
|---|---|---|
| One profile | 1 | $0.0067 |
| 3 profiles | 3 | $0.02 |
| A full page | 100 | $0.675 |

These are per-record list prices. Some calls also carry a minimum, such as a page of search results, so a small request can cost more than the table shows. The quote ("estimateOnly": true) is free, gives the most your exact request can cost, and the charge then settles to what came back. Records that do not come back are refunded.

## Try it without writing code

- [Open the Facebook Followers API in the playground](https://apiforagents.dev/dashboard/run?platform=facebook&op=followers): The playground runs any endpoint by hand: pick a platform and what you want from it, fill a short form named in plain words (or press Use sample input), see the free quote on the Run button, run it, then read the answer as a table or JSON and download it as CSV or JSON. The same call is written out as cURL, Python and Node while you type.

## Why this one, and not a scraper you run yourself

- No login, no Facebook account, no cookies, no proxies, no browser to babysit.
- When the site changes its pages, your request stays the same: keeping the reads working is our job, not yours.
- A fetch that fails costs nothing: it is named in the answer with a reason, and the quote says the most a call can cost before it runs.

## Questions

### What does the Facebook Followers API return?

One row per profile: name, bio, whether it is a follower or a following, profile id, profile URL and avatar URL.

### What do I pass in?

Up to three page URLs or vanity handles in subjects, direction set to followers or following, and a limit from 1 to 100.

### How much does it cost?

$0.0067 per profile at the list price. A small call can carry a minimum, so quote first with "estimateOnly": true, which is free and is the most the call can cost. You pay for what comes back.

## Why API for Agents

- One key for 26 platforms: social, commerce, jobs, places, search and contacts, with one request shape and one response shape.
- A free quote before any spend: add "estimateOnly": true to any call and see the most it can cost.
- Pay per record in US dollars. No subscription, nothing expires, top-ups from $5.
- $0.10 free to try, no card. An AI agent can sign itself up in one request; a person claims it later.
- Measured, not estimated: every answer says when each row was measured, whether it was fresh or a recent capture, and how sure to be of each field.
- Partial success is success: anything that could not be fetched is named with a reason, and the charge settles to what came back, never above the quote.
- Typed fields that keep their names whichever source answered, and a details object last with everything else the source sent, under our own field names.
- Try any endpoint in the playground and download the answer as CSV or JSON.
