Facebook (System User Token)

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Facebook with Nango using a system user access token and see data flow in 2 minutes. This uses a long-lived token generated in Meta Business Settings — no OAuth redirect required.

Create the integration

In Nango (free signup), go to the Integrations tab -> Configure New Integration -> Facebook (System User Token).

Connect your Facebook system user

Go to the Connections tab -> Add Test Connection, then paste your system user access token. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

Call the Facebook API

Let’s make your first request to the Facebook API (fetch the system user’s own info). Replace the placeholders below with your API key (Environment settings tab > API Keys), integration ID (Integrations tab), and connection ID (Connections tab):

cURL
Node

curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v22.0/me" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"

Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

const res = await nango.get({
    endpoint: '/v22.0/me',
    providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
    connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
});

console.log(res.data);

Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
