Read and reply to comments, answer Messenger conversations, track where your Page is tagged, and publish everything from link posts to Reels through one REST API. SocialAPI.ai runs the Meta app and app review, so you never touch a Graph API changelog.
Pull every comment on a Page post, including per-comment capability flags for reply, hide, like, and private reply. SocialAPI.ai resolves the correct Page access token automatically.
What you can do with Facebook.
Supported
Comments
Read comments on Page posts, reply publicly, or send a one-time private Messenger reply to the commenter. Fetch the reply thread under a comment, and hide, unhide, like, unlike, or delete comments.
Supported
Direct Messages
List and read Messenger conversations, and send text or media replies (image, video, audio, or file, up to 25 MB) within Meta's 24-hour messaging window.
Supported
Mentions
Retrieve posts where your Page is tagged, and reply publicly to the mention, even when it sits on someone else's post.
Supported
Publishing
Publish text posts, photos, link posts, videos, and Reels (content_type: "reel") to your Facebook Page, and delete any of them afterward.
Supported
Webhooks
Get real-time notifications for new comments, Messenger messages, mentions, and removed Pages through SocialAPI.ai's own webhook system.
The official API vs one API key.
Getting access
the Meta Graph API
Register a Meta app, request permissions, and pass App Review before real users can connect.
With SocialAPI.ai
No Meta registration or review. Connect a Page through OAuth and start reading comments in minutes.
Messenger windows
the Meta Graph API
Track the 24-hour messaging window and message-tag rules in your own code.
With SocialAPI.ai
Send replies through one endpoint; a closed window comes back as a clear, structured error instead of a raw platform failure.
Private replies
the Meta Graph API
A separate private-replies flow with its own permission and constraints.
With SocialAPI.ai
One POST to the private-reply endpoint sends a one-time Messenger DM to the commenter, using a permission SocialAPI.ai's managed app already holds.
API versioning
the Meta Graph API
Graph API versions retire on a schedule; every retirement is a migration.
With SocialAPI.ai
Version bumps happen behind the unified schema. Your integration doesn't change.
Good to know.
Messenger replies only work within Meta's 24-hour window after the user's last message; sending outside it returns a platform error.
Facebook Page reviews are not available through any API. Meta deprecated the Reviews/Recommendations API in Graph API v22.0.
Toggling comments on or off for a post isn't supported. The Facebook Graph API doesn't expose that control.
DM attachments are sent by URL rather than uploaded directly, up to 25 MB, with the type inferred from the file extension.
Why developers love Facebook on SocialAPI.ai
1
Comment moderation and private replies
Read every comment on your Page's posts, reply publicly, or send a one-time private Messenger reply to the commenter without switching endpoints. Fetch the reply thread under any comment, and hide, unhide, like, unlike, or delete the ones you don't want visible. Each comment comes back with capability flags so your code knows what's allowed before it tries.
2
Messenger conversations
List and read Messenger conversations tied to your Page, and reply with text, an image, a video, an audio clip, or a file. SocialAPI.ai infers the attachment type from the URL you send (up to 25 MB) and enforces Meta's 24-hour standard messaging window, returning a clear error once it closes.
3
Mention tracking and replies
Pull every post where your Page is tagged, scoped to that connected account. Reply publicly to a mention even when it sits on someone else's post, something the standard comment-reply endpoint can't do.
4
Posting, Reels included
Publish text updates, photo and link posts, standard videos, and Reels to your Facebook Page, then delete any of them later. Set content_type: "reel" on a video target and SocialAPI.ai runs Meta's Reels upload and processing flow for you, including the wait until it's published.
5
A managed Meta app, not yours
SocialAPI.ai's Meta app already passed App Review and holds every permission your Page needs, from pages_messaging to pages_manage_posts. Connect a Page through OAuth and you're reading comments in minutes, with no Meta for Developers account or review wait on your side.
Simple, honest pricing.
Reading comments, DMs, and mentions is free and unlimited on every plan. Paid plans start at $29/mo with unlimited posts and interactions. The free tier needs no credit card.
Yes. The Meta Graph API covers Facebook Pages, posts, comments, Messenger, and mentions, but only for Pages, not personal profiles. SocialAPI.ai is a managed connector: our Meta app already passed App Review, so you connect a Page through OAuth without registering your own Meta for Developers app.
Is the Facebook Graph API free?
Meta doesn't charge per call, but reading and replying on real Pages first requires your app to pass Meta's App Review, which can take weeks. SocialAPI.ai skips that wait: start on the free tier, or move to a paid plan from $29/mo for higher volume.
Can I reply to Facebook comments through the API?
Yes, either as a public reply anyone can see or as a one-time private Messenger reply to just the commenter. Private replies are limited by Meta to one per comment, sent within 7 days of the original comment.
Can I send Messenger messages via the API?
Yes, within Messenger's 24-hour window after the user's last message. Messages can carry text, an attachment (image, video, audio, or file up to 25 MB), or both.
Can I get Facebook Page reviews through the API?
No. Meta deprecated Page reviews in Graph API v22.0, and no third party, SocialAPI.ai included, can read them anymore.
Can I publish Reels through the API?
Yes. Set content_type: "reel" on a target in POST /v1/posts with one vertical video (9:16, 3 to 90 seconds), and SocialAPI.ai runs Meta's Reels upload and processing flow for you. Add share_to_feed: true to also show it in the Page feed.
Can AI agents manage my Facebook Page?
Yes. The built-in MCP server exposes comment replies, Messenger messages, mentions, and publishing as tools, so Claude and other MCP-capable agents can act on your Page inside your existing approval flow.
