Meta APIs Integration for Developers
Meta APIs
Meta’s documentation is fragmented, frequently outdated, and hostile to beginners. This course is the missing manual: WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and the Graph API — current, correct, and hands-on. Every project ships with a mock mode, so you build and test the whole thing before your App Review is even approved.

Built for the platform as it exists today.
Most Meta tutorials are already wrong — WhatsApp billing switched to per-message pricing; the On-Premises API is gone; several Messenger message tags now return errors; Instagram has two access paths with different capabilities. Every module is verified against the current Graph API version before each cohort. African business runs on WhatsApp, so we go deepest exactly where the demand is.
What makes it different
- Verified against current official docs every cohort
- Mock mode: run every project locally, day one
- Real error codes and failure drills, not happy paths
- An App Review playbook that passes first time
- Capstone: a deployed multi-channel inbox
