DMs use Meta’s 24-hour messaging window. Comments support full fetch / reply / hide / delete.
Reels and Stories are selected with
platform_options.facebook.type (reel /
story); omit it for a feed post. A story carries no caption - Meta’s Page
Stories API has no text parameter - and lives for 24 hours. See
Platform options for the per-type media rules.
Reel limit
Facebook allows 30 API-published Reels per Page in a moving 24-hour window. Creating or scheduling a Reel is refused up front when the Page would be at the limit at the post’s publish time (Reels published plus Reels already scheduled in the 24 hours before it):422 PLATFORM_DAILY_LIMIT_REACHED, with
details.next_available_at saying when a Reel fits again. Check the allowance
with Get Facebook Reel limit.
Reels posted to the Page outside this platform are not counted, so Facebook can
still refuse a Reel; a scheduled Reel that hits the limit when it publishes
fails with the same error code and is not retried automatically.
Page settings
These calls manage the Facebook Page behind a connected account, whereaccount_id is the connected account’s id. A test key (sqk_test_...)
validates the request - including checking the image URL - and returns a
success response without contacting Facebook.
Message button
PATCH /v1/social/accounts/{account_id}/facebook/page/settings with
{"users_can_message": false} turns messaging off: the Page’s Message
button is hidden and replies are blocked in chats that already exist. Send
true to restore both. Read the current value with
GET /v1/social/accounts/{account_id}/facebook/page/settings;
users_can_message is null when Facebook did not report the setting.
Profile picture
POST /v1/social/accounts/{account_id}/facebook/page/picture with
{"url": "https://..."}. Facebook downloads the image from that URL itself. No
feed story is created and followers are not notified. Facebook shows the
picture as a circle, so a square image of 196 x 196 px or larger works best.
Cover photo
POST /v1/social/accounts/{account_id}/facebook/page/cover with url and an
optional offset_y (0-100, default 50). No feed story is created and followers
are not notified. The recommended size is 851 x 315 px.
This call needs the business permission on the connection. A connection
without it gets 403 CONNECTION_SCOPE_MISSING with reconnect_required: true -
reconnect the account to fix it. A cover photo can be replaced through the API
but not removed; removing it has to be done on Facebook.
Image rules
Only the format, file size and cover minimum are enforced. An image that breaks
one is refused with
422 VALIDATION_ERROR, with details.field set to "url"
and details.reason one of invalid_url, unreachable, too_large,
unsupported_type or, for a cover photo only, too_small.
