Rate limit on Facebook API

Question

I am working on a project that want to use facebook api's. I want to know whether there is a rate limit on the facebook api's per account.

Answer 1

Yes there is a rate limit for Facebook API which is also mentioned in their Platform Policies as

If you exceed, or plan to exceed, any of the following thresholds please contact us as you may be subject to additional terms: (>5M MAU) or (>100M API calls per day) or (>50M impressions per day).

Answer 2

Aside from the Platform Policies mentioned in the pervious answer, the Facebook graph API is subject to multiple level of rate limiting / throttling -- user (access token) level, app level (app id), API level, and IP address.

This doc. has most of what you need: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/api-rate-limiting/ , other than the IP level throttling.

This post cover the IP level throttling: Facebook Graph API limit - per token and per IP?
