api-integration

A guide for connecting software to Meta products such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Pages, and advertising tools through their APIs, which are the interfaces programs use to communicate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Meta integration, such as sending WhatsApp messages, publishing Instagram content, building a Messenger chatbot, or managing ads.
Why use it?
It brings together the correct setup instructions, login requirements, permissions, and code examples instead of leaving you to search across Meta's documentation.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-integration scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Integration

Help a developer go from "I want to integrate with X" to having everything they need to start writing code.

Workflow

  1. Start tracking. Before any other work, call devtools_skill_invocation with action start and skill_name api-integration. Pass skill_name api-integration on every devtools_* tool call in the following steps.

  2. Identify the integration. Ask the user what they want to build if not clear. Common integrations:

    • WhatsApp Business API (send/receive messages, templates, media)
    • Instagram Graph API (publish content, read insights, manage comments)
    • Messenger Platform (chatbots, send API, webhooks)
    • Pages API (post content, read insights, manage pages)
    • Marketing API (create campaigns, manage ads, read analytics)
    • Login with Facebook / Login with Instagram
    • Facebook Login for Business
  3. Research the integration. Run multiple searches to build a complete picture. Do NOT stop at one search — layer queries to cover all aspects:

    Search 1 — Overview and getting started:

    • devtools_discoverysearch_docs with the product name + "getting started" or "overview"
    • e.g., "WhatsApp Business API getting started"

    Search 2 — Authentication and access tokens:

    • devtools_discoverysearch_docs for authentication requirements
    • e.g., "WhatsApp Business API access token authentication"

    Search 3 — Required permissions and app review:

    • devtools_discoverysearch_docs for permissions
    • e.g., "WhatsApp Business API permissions"
    • Also check the app if an app_id is provided: devtools_app_reviewrequirements and privileges

    Search 4 — Core API endpoints:

    • devtools_discoverysearch_docs for the specific operations the user needs
    • e.g., "WhatsApp send message API" or "Instagram publish media API"

    Search 5 — Webhooks (if applicable):

    • devtools_discoverysearch_docs for webhook setup
    • e.g., "WhatsApp webhooks setup"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository facebook/agentic-tools (5 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,587 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
