### What does the Facebook Followers API return?

## README

### Facebook Followers API

List the public followers (or accounts followed) of any Facebook page or profile URL as normalized JSON records.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBASE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "facebook/followers", "url": "https://www.facebook.com/nike", "limit": 3}'
```

The result is returned in `outputs[0].data`. A lookup that finds nothing still succeeds and returns `found: false`.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `url` | string | Yes | Facebook page or profile URL to list follows for (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/nasa). |
| `followType` | string | No | Which relation to fetch: 'follower' or 'following' (e.g. follower). Default `"follower"`. |
| `limit` | integer | No | Maximum number of results to return (1-20, default 20). You are billed per result returned, so a lower limit costs less. |

#### Pricing

Billed at the actual cost of each call, usually $0.12 per request. A call can cost more when the first data source fails and another one answers. Failed calls are not charged. Lookups that find nothing and searches with no results are billed at their actual cost, which is often lower and can be $0.
