How to read this

Every cell outside our column is a value that product publishes, copied from the page numbered beside it and read on the date in that footnote. Nothing is restated as a judgement, and there is no adjective about anyone else anywhere on this page.

An em dash means that product’s published pages, read on that date, state no such figure. On a fee row it means no such fee is published; on a capability row it means the capability is not published. It is not a claim that the thing does not exist.

Our own column is written down nowhere. It is computed when this page is built, from the same document the API serves, so the figure here cannot drift from the figure you are charged. The platform row counts a different kind of thing per product — apps, connectors, unified APIs, social networks — and is the one row whose numbers are not comparable.

SwooshConnect vs Building your own OAuth apps

The other alternative is no product at all. These are the provider rules you take on, each read from the provider's own developer documentation.

  • Google access tokens expire; keeping access when the user isn't present requires requesting offline access and storing the resulting refresh token on your own serverSource · retrieved 2026-09-21
  • Graph API permissions start at Standard Access, usable only with your own app's admins, developers and testers; acting on a business Page you don't own requires Advanced Access, which needs Business Verification and App ReviewSource · retrieved 2026-09-21
  • Facebook User and Page access tokens are short-lived by default, expiring in hours, unless exchanged for a long-lived tokenSource · retrieved 2026-09-21
