This is Bookface — a TypeScript wrapper for Meta's developer services, born from frustration at Meta's lack of easy developer integration.
The current API libraries you'll find for Meta's products are either very limited (and use hacky browser simulation) or unacceptably old/unmaintained. This is a library that aims to:
Interact with Meta's developer services the way Meta intended, although with way more ease.
Support all of Meta's platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Threads, WhatsApp, etc.).
Be consistently updated with Meta's latest API changes.
Overall, make things faster for people trying to use Meta services.
For background, I've been working on this library on and off for about a year and a half, slowly adding features as I needed them. I originally created this library for another project when I was seventeen. Two years later, I have been putting off release for too long, and this library desperately needs other experienced hands.
The reason for this post is to get some urgent feedback on what syntax feels good and what doesn't; to test that what's currently added is working as intended (I am the only tester); and, crucially, to find other maintainers. I want this to be a long-term project, and maintainers would help smooth out the rough edges of my mistakes and hopefully keep this project going for a while.
I should note that this is sort of a preliminary release post since this library is still in its very early stages (lacking features), and I'm really just looking to get things into motion. Please check it out!
