Public Groups
Closed Groups
Secret Groups

What is it? I thought Facebook has its own free native API!

Not anymore. Facebook had a free native API since 2010. it was working perfectly fine up until the summer of 2017 when Facebook made it much more complicated to setup and use. After that it all went downhill pretty fast. Every month Facebook was messing up its API more and more. Facebook disabled an ability to post to groups on March 10 2018, then Facebook disabled an ability to post to profiles on April 25 2018. Finally, Facebook closed an unrestricted access to its native API on May 1, 2018.

It was time for an alternative.

It’s very easy to configure NextScripts API for Facebook in WordPress plugin. All you need is to get user id and session id from your browser.
