Dose Facebook limits total api calls (600 call per 600 seconds) for each app separately within one business or the limit apply for all the apps within a business?
for example:
i have a business with 6 apps, each app can make 600 calls per 600 seconds?
or
each app can make 100 calls?
Limits are per App/Token/IP afaik, so it´s always good to use a User or Page Access Token instead of an App Access Token or even no Token at all. But the limit is dynamic, there are no static numbers. And you are not allowed to use several App just to circumvent the API Limit.
More information: What's the Facebook's Graph API call limit?

I'd like to call 8000 times the Facebook search API like this one below:
https://graph.facebook.com/v2.10/search?access_token=<myaccesstoken>&q=<call_n>&type=<my_type>
How many calls can I do? And if it is not possible what would be the solution?
See the documentation
Your app can make 200 calls per hour per user in aggregate. As an example, if your app has 100 users, this means that your app can make 20,000 calls. This isn't a per-user limit, so one user could make 19,000 of those calls and another could make 1,000. This limit is calculated based on the number of calls made in the previous hour.
To avoid rate limiting:
Spread out queries evenly between two time intervals to avoid sending
traffic in spikes.
Use filters to limit the data response size and
avoiding calls that request overlapping data.
Use the rate limiting header to dynamically balance your call volume.
I'm building an app with timely, Facebook statistics (just the total count) associated with web content. The content volume is substantial, and statistics should be updated every few minutes for each url. So the Graph API request count, to http://graph.facebook.com/?id= is massive. Are there limits to the number of requests? I don't batch them.
Only batch limits for apps seem to be communicated:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/making-multiple-requests
You should definitely add an App Access Token, and you should definitely use
/?ids={url1},{url2},{url3},...
to reduce your requests. There are no published actual request limits of the Graph API.
Facebook post..
We have integrated our application with facebook. Everything is working fine and we have observed Feed action request limit reached (341) error.
We have checked the limit in privacy setting having arround 5M. Could you please let us know the limit (number for API's) once so that we will verify properly at our side.
Appreciate the immediate response.
The API limit for Facebook is 600 calls per 600 seconds, per app & per IP. There are also application specific limits for limiting things like Feeds and Requests.
If you are hitting the limit you should seriously optimize your app to make less calls or batch requests.
I am getting an FBerror "This operation can't be completed: Application request limit reached".
Does anybody know why is it so? How to check the limit? How to increase the limit? What depends on the limit allocation?
I recently ran across this issue doing a large number of requests using an application access token (the initial project requirements mandated that the user shouldn't have to authorize the app).
After much frustration, we finally were put in touch with a contact at Facebook who provided the following info in response to my question regarding request limits:
There is a limit, but it's pretty high, it should be difficult to hit unless they're using the same access tokens for all calls and not caching results, etc. It's 600 calls per 600 seconds per access token.
Ultimately we ended up requiring the user to authorize, as Facebook does not seem to distinguish between user access tokens (one token per user) and application access tokens (one token for all users) when calculating its seemingly arbitrary request limits.
If you are running into this error with a user access token, you may need to optimize your API calls (possibly by combining FQL queries or replacing multiple Graph requests with a single FQL query).
try this with your php code:
50 continuous FQL calls. After a pause of 10 seconds (sleep (10)) You repeat.
if($nr%50==0)
{
sleep(10);
echo "\n\n---Bloque #".++$numBloque."---\n\n";
}
IS there a limit of connections and time of requests I can send to the Facebook public API?
I do not need to get private informations of the logged in users, but only some public information.
I will get a LOT of data, and I will have to do a LOT of request.
Is there a limit I have to consider?
There is officially no limit that is specified by the Facebook Dev team. However, users did face issues in the past while trying to pull large amounts of data. I believe there was also a bug that was being tracked some time back regarding this.
Facebook limits API access on multiple levels as e.g. per User ID and per App ID. The calculate a 'score‘ per app that defines individual API limits. This depends e.g. on the number of active users but also on the 'smartness' of the requests as well as their CPU and memory usage on the Facebook side.
