The Graph API is a capable, well-documented interface, and it is built almost entirely around Pages and accounts you manage. That single assumption is what makes it awkward when you want a statistic for a Page you have nothing to do with.
Built for Pages you own
To read Page data through the Graph API you generally need a Facebook developer app, a review process for the permissions you are requesting, and a Page access token issued for a Page you administer. If you are building a tool for your own Pages, that chain makes sense. If you are tracking a competitor, a client, or a list of brands, it collapses, because you will never hold an access token for those Pages.
What Metrika gives you for Facebook
Metrika returns the public audience size for a Page, under the
shared followers field, along with its verified status.
$ curl -X POST https://metrika.run/api/v1/resources/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"resources": [{"platform": "facebook", "type": "account", "identifier": "nasa"}]}'No app, no review, no per-Page token. One bearer token covers every Page and every platform.
One shape across seven platforms
Facebook sits alongside Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Threads behind the same endpoint. Requests take up to ten accounts at a time and can mix platforms, so a single call can cover a brand's whole presence.
What Metrika is not
Metrika will not publish posts, read comments or messages, serve ads data, or reach anything requiring a Page token. It is a read-only source of public datapoints.
