Meta Content Library as a Research Tool

At ACM Hypertext, representatives from Meta's research partnerships team led a tutorial for researchers about Meta Content Library and demonstrated the latest features available in its user interface (UI) and API. The Content Library provides researchers comprehensive access to public content from Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Users can surface billions of data points from public posts, videos, photos, reels, story highlights, and more. The in-depth demonstration led by our partnerships and data science team demonstrated how the API and the UI can surface this content and illuminate topics relevant to ACM Hypertext attendees studying the intersection of digital media and society. Meta also provided an overview for how individuals and research teams can apply for access to these tools, as well as opportunities for attendees to share feedback about Meta's research tools and services.
