Facebook Pages

This page contains the setup guide and reference information for the Facebook Pages source connector.

Prerequisites

To set up the Facebook Pages source connector with Airbyte, you'll need to create your Facebook Application and use both long-lived Page access token and Facebook Page ID.

:::note The Facebook Pages source connector is currently only compatible with v24 of the Facebook Graph API. :::

Setup guide

Step 1: Set up Facebook Pages

1. Create a Facebook Developer Account. Follow these instructions to create one.
2. Create a Facebook App. Choose "Company" as the purpose of the app. Fill out the remaining fields to create your app, then follow along the "Connect a User Page" section.
3. Connect a User Page using the Graph API Explorer. Choose your app in the Meta App field. Choose your Page in the User or Page field. Add the following permissions:
   • pages_read_engagement
   • pages_read_user_content
   • pages_show_list
   • read_insights
4. Click Generate Access Token and follow instructions.

After all the steps, it should look something like this:

5. Generate Long-Lived User Access Token.
6. Generate Long-Lived Page Token.

Step 2: Set up the Facebook Pages connector in Airbyte

For Airbyte Cloud:

1. Log into your Airbyte Cloud account.
2. In the left navigation bar, click Sources. In the top-right corner, click + New source.
3. On the Set up the source page, enter the name for the Facebook Pages connector and select Facebook Pages from the Source type dropdown.
4. Fill in Page Access Token with Long-Lived Page Token
5. Fill in Page ID (if you have a page URL such as https://www.facebook.com/Test-1111111111, the ID would be Test-1111111111)

For Airbyte OSS

1. Navigate to the Airbyte Open Source dashboard.
2. Set the name for your source.
3. On the Set up the source page, enter the name for the Facebook Pages connector and select Facebook Pages from the Source type dropdown.
4. Fill in Page Access Token with Long-Lived Page Token
5. Fill in Page ID (if you have a page URL such as https://www.facebook.com/Test-1111111111, the ID would be Test-1111111111)

Creating your own OAuth App

Follow this Facebook documentation to create an OAuth App.

Required permissions for your OAuth App to sync data using the Facebook Pages source connector:

• pages_read_engagement
• pages_read_user_content
• pages_show_list
• read_insights

If you encounter permission errors for specific Page fields, see Meta's Permissions Reference for additional permissions you might need. As a rule it's best to request the lowest number of permissions you can to function normally.

Supported sync modes

The Facebook Pages source connector supports the following sync modes:

• Full Refresh - Overwrite
• Full Refresh - Append

Supported Streams

• Page
• Post
• Page Insights
• Post Insights

Performance considerations

Facebook heavily throttles API tokens generated from Facebook Apps by default, making it infeasible to use such a token for syncs with Airbyte. To be able to use this connector without your syncs taking days due to rate limiting, follow the instructions in the Setup Guide above to generate a Long-Lived Page Token.

See Facebook's documentation on rate limiting for more information on requesting a quota upgrade.
