# How to connect Facebook public data to OpenClaw (paste one key, 25 tools)

> Connect Facebook public data to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Facebook public data key once and 25 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.

Web version: https://claw-link.dev/openclaw/facebook-data

The usual route to Facebook public data access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Facebook public data setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Facebook public data in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Facebook public data actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself.

## Setup

It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Facebook public data.

1. **Install ClawLink** — add the plugin to OpenClaw once.
2. **Connect Facebook public data** — one-click OAuth in the ClawLink dashboard.
3. **Use it from chat** — ask OpenClaw in plain English.

**Paste this into OpenClaw to set up ClawLink:**

> I want to connect my apps to OpenClaw through ClawLink.
> Please install the ClawLink plugin from ClawHub and enable it: `openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin`
> When it is installed, tell me and stop. After I reply, give me the ClawLink pairing link. Setup notes, if you need them: https://claw-link.dev/skill.md

**Alternative for any agent (no plugin needed):** if the OpenClaw plugin route isn't available or doesn't work, any AI agent with shell access can use the ClawLink CLI instead:

```bash
npx -y @useclawlink/cli login          # sign in via browser — no API key to paste
npx -y @useclawlink/cli connect facebook-data  # connect Facebook public data (browser OAuth)
npx -y @useclawlink/cli actions facebook-data  # list available actions
npx -y @useclawlink/cli run facebook-data <action> --input '<json>'  # execute (add --confirm for writes)
```

### Install by command

The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval:

```bash
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin
```

Then ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say `done`. Finally, connect Facebook public data in the [ClawLink dashboard](https://claw-link.dev/dashboard) — enter your Facebook public data account details once.

Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:

> Use Facebook public data to facebookdata page profile and walk me through the result in plain English.

### Using a different agent?

The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI:

```bash
npx -y @useclawlink/cli login
```

`login` opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Facebook public data is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 25 Facebook public data tools over MCP.

## ClawLink vs. building it yourself

The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration wiring plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Facebook public data working from chat.

| | Manual | ClawLink |
|---|---|---|
| **Setup flow** | Collect and store the right Facebook public data credentials yourself, then keep the account mapping and request format correct. | ClawLink keeps the setup in one hosted flow so non-technical users can link Facebook public data without custom integration screens. |
| **Ongoing maintenance** | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Facebook public data. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. |
| **Agent usability** | You still need to expose the right Facebook public data actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 25 tools for Facebook public data are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |

## ClawLink vs. Composio

Composio also exposes Facebook public data to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Facebook public data in the browser, and the 25 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Facebook public data key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

### OpenClaw installed the Facebook public data skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Facebook public data, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Facebook public data is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register.

### Connection succeeds but no tools appear
Reconnect Facebook public data from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded.

### "Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Facebook public data tools
Facebook public data tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Facebook public data call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again.

### Facebook public data returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work
Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs.

### The setup form accepts credentials but calls still fail
Re-enter the credentials carefully and verify the account-level permissions for Facebook public data. Basic and token-based integrations tend to fail on formatting mistakes or limited account roles.

### Is there a OpenClaw Facebook public data integration?
Yes. ClawLink is the fastest way to connect OpenClaw to Facebook public data: link your Facebook public data account once in the browser and OpenClaw can call the Facebook public data API through 25 ready-made tools — no custom code or token handling.

### How do I add Facebook public data to OpenClaw with ClawLink?
Paste the setup prompt from this page into OpenClaw. It installs the ClawLink Facebook public data skill from ClawHub, then you click Connect in the dashboard to authorize Facebook public data. OpenClaw calls the tools from the next message — no config files, and the Facebook public data key you paste is stored server-side instead of in your environment.

### How long does it take to connect Facebook public data to OpenClaw?
About two minutes. Sign in, click Connect next to Facebook public data in the dashboard, authenticate, and OpenClaw can use it from the next chat message.

### Why use ClawLink instead of wiring Facebook public data up myself?
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual integration wiring plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Facebook public data working from chat.

### OpenClaw installed the Facebook public data skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Facebook public data, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Facebook public data is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register.
