Comprehensive APIs for Login, Sharing, Social Plugins, and Analytics

Overview

Facebook APIs include RESTful endpoints (via Graph API) for user authentication (Facebook Login), content sharing to timelines, embedding social plugins (Like/Share buttons), and accessing Insights analytics. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases: Enable social login for apps/websites, let users share content, boost engagement with plugins, and track interactions. Supports OAuth 2.0 for secure access. Common endpoints: /me (user data), /posts (share content), /insights (performance metrics).

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://developers.facebook.com/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
