Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook Lead Ads (part of the Meta Marketing API) lets advertisers create instant lead-generation forms on Facebook and Instagram and programmatically retrieve the leads captured through those forms. Through the Meta Graph API developers can list lead generation forms on a Page, read submitted leads, download bulk lead exports, and subscribe to webhooks for real-time lead delivery. Authentication uses Page access tokens issued via Facebook Login / Meta Business Login with the leads_retrieval, pages_show_list, and pages_manage_ads permissions.

Facebook Lead Ads publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Bulk Leads API, Leadgen Forms API, Leads API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Advertising, Lead Generation, Lead Ads, Marketing API, and Facebook.

The Facebook Lead Ads catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

Facebook Lead Ads’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, signup flow, support, changelog, sandbox, CLI, and 34 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
  • Documented Reversibility +6 pts — a reversal operation in the contract, graded up when a window is documented too
  • Pagination +5 pts — share of collection GETs (an array, or one wrapped in data/items/results ...) that declare a page/limit/offset/cursor parameter, a Link header or a next/cursor field; na with no collection GETs

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.
