Meta will sunset CrowdTangle in August

Meta announced that CrowdTangle will be discontinued on Aug. 14, 2024, as the company shifts its focus toward developing new research tools. The CrowdTangle API rate limits will stay the same until the tool is deprecated. Advertisers can still utilize Insights within Meta Business Suite (MBS) following the deprecation of CrowdTangle. A bot account on X, originally created by The New York Times journalist Kevin Roose, regularly highlighted the most popular Facebook posts based on data from Meta’s CrowdTangle platform. Since then, rumors have circulated about Meta planning to sunset the platform, and now, those rumors are confirmed.
