PowerExchange for Facebook uses the Facebook API to search and retrieve Facebook data. The Facebook API resources allow access to Facebook data. These resources provide information such as user profiles, friends, and group information. Each resource includes metadata such as FollowersCount, FriendsCount, and Username.

For information about the Facebook API, see the Facebook API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com.
