Facebook event details API

Q: Which errors can it return?

invalid_params (do not retry), unsupported_url (do not retry), not_found (do not retry). Account and platform errors from the errors list can also happen. A failure always costs 0 credits.

Q: Is there an SDK call for it?

The preview Python client has client.facebook.event(...) and the TypeScript client client.facebook.event() . Both return the same envelope as the HTTP API. The packages are not published yet; plain HTTP works today in any language.

Facebook event details, as JSON, with id, url, title, description, starts_at and more.
