Frequently asked questions

Can I get details for private groups?

You can get basic details (name, member count, privacy setting) for private groups, but their posts and member lists are not accessible.

How does pricing work?

You only pay for successful requests. The Facebook Group Details API costs $0.008 per request. There are no monthly fees or commitments. You get 50 free requests per endpoint every month.

Do I need a credit card to start?
