bash
curl https://api.outstand.so/v1/posts/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OUTSTAND_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

  }'

Posts to your Facebook Page. A video publishes as a Reel-ready upload; add a comment container to tag another Page.

Facebook's Graph API is powerful — and painful

Publishing through the Facebook Graph API means a Meta app, App Review for pages_manage_posts, a Page access token you must exchange for a long-lived one, and binary media uploads with a separate flow for Reels. Page mentions only work inside comments. Outstand turns all of it into a single request.

Meta app, App Review and Page-linked permissions
Connect once via OAuth — we manage the app and Page tokens, or bring your own
Short-lived Page tokens you must exchange and refresh
Automatic token refresh — you never see a 401
Photos/videos uploaded as binary, with a separate Reels flow
Pass a media URL; we upload the binary and route Reels correctly
Page mentions only work in comments, and need a verified pageId
Give us { pageId, text }; we tag the Page in a comment for you
Opaque rate limits and 429s
We queue, throttle and retry — you never see a 429

Everything Facebook Pages support, through one endpoint

Every content type and capability available on Facebook via Outstand today.

Plus video uploads and tagging other Pages in comments. Posting to a personal profile (rather than a Page) is not supported by Meta’s API.

Copy, paste, ship

The same accounts array also fans out to Instagram, X, LinkedIn and more — one request, many platforms.

bash
curl https://api.outstand.so/v1/posts/ \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $OUTSTAND_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

    "accounts": ["facebook"],
    "media": [{ "url": "https://media.outstand.so/event.mp4", "filename": "event.mp4" }]
  }'

Facebook API FAQ

The questions developers ask before they build.

Does Facebook have an official API?

Yes — the Facebook Graph API lets approved apps publish to Pages, upload photos and videos, post Reels and read insights. Outstand is a managed layer on top of it, so you skip the App Review and token management.

Can I post to a personal profile or only a Page?

Only Pages. Meta’s Graph API does not allow third-party apps to publish to personal profiles — publishing is limited to Pages you manage. Outstand publishes to your connected Page.

Can I post Facebook Reels via API?

Yes. Send a video to POST /v1/posts/ with accounts: ["facebook"] and Outstand uploads it through the correct Reels flow.

Can I tag another Page on Facebook via API?

Yes, in a comment. Meta only supports @[pageId] mentions in comments, not the main post body, so pass facebook.mentions and include a comment container whose text contains the anchor. Outstand verifies the pageId before publishing.

Can I schedule Facebook posts via the API?

Yes. Add a scheduledAt ISO-8601 timestamp (up to 30 days ahead) and Outstand publishes the post automatically — no cron or queue on your side.

Can I read and reply to Facebook comments via the API?

Yes. Read the comments on a published post with GET /v1/posts/{id}/replies?network=facebook and post a reply with POST /v1/posts/{id}/replies.

Can I delete a Facebook post via the API?

Yes. Facebook supports deleting posts via the API, and Outstand exposes it through DELETE /v1/posts/{id}/remote.
