How to Export Data from Facebook, Instagram, and Other Meta Services

While Meta services such as Facebook and Instagram are powerful platforms for audience engagement and brand building, businesses that rely on these tools often need to combine Meta data with information from other systems—such as marketing analytics platforms, customer relationship management tools, or ecommerce systems—to gain a comprehensive view of online engagement, ad performance, and overall digital presence.

Dataddo’s connectors for Facebook, Instagram, and other Meta services make it simple to integrate Meta data with business intelligence tools, databases, and other business systems. Whether you need to export ad performance metrics, user engagement data, or campaign insights for advanced analysis, Dataddo enables reliable, automated data export without the need for complex coding or manual intervention.

Why use Dataddo to connect Facebook and Instagram to your other tools? Here are 8 reasons.

1. Automated Connections, Zero Manual Work

Manually downloading reports from Facebook and Instagram and uploading them to other systems takes a lot of time, introduces room for error, and isn't scalable long-term. Dataddo takes care of this by automating connections between Meta services and your other data tools, like analytics platforms and data storages. Data can be synced as often as every five minutes.

And you never have to worry about your dashboards breaking! Dataddo's engineering team proactively monitors and maintains all connections (i.e. API changes) behind the curtain.

2. Connectors for All Your Apps and Data Tools

Dataddo has a huge library of connectors—not just for Meta services! Connect TikTok, Reddit, Google Ads, and all your other marketing and sales apps to BI tools (like Tableau or Power BI), data warehouses (like Snowflake or BigQuery), or other business systems (e.g., QuickBooks, HubSpot, or Salesforce).

This means you can bring all your business data together in the destination of your choice for unified analysis and storage.

Need to connect a unique service? We create custom connectors on request in about 10 business days.

3. Quick Setup, No Coding Necessary

Setting up connections between Facebook, Instagram, and other services with Dataddo doesn’t require technical data skills. Anyone can connect any data sources to any data destinations in just a few minutes!

For data engineers and data scientists, Dataddo enables customizations like SQL-based transformations, as well as direct access to our full REST API.

4. ETL/ELT, Reverse ETL, Database Replication

Dataddo supports all key integration types:

• For business teams (e.g., marketing and sales): direct connections of apps like Facebook and Instagram with analytics tools.
• For data teams: ETL/ELT, database replication, reverse ETL, event-based integrations and webhooks.
• For developers of data products like CDPs: Headless Data Integration.

5. Rich Features for Data Quality

Dataddo has a number of inbuilt data quality features, which ensure that the data you're working with in your destinations is reliable. Our anomaly detector keeps outliers out of destinations, automatic date and format harmonization ensures that all data extracted with Dataddo is ready to analyze (even if it's from different sources), and detailed connection logs give a full overview of all activity within our platform.

6. Secure and Compliant

Dataddo is SOC 2 Type II certified and complies fully with all important data privacy laws and regulations; these include ISO 27001, GDPR and DORA in Europe, CCPA and HIPAA in the United States, and LGPD in Brazil.

Dataddo also detects potentially sensitive fields, and allows users to exclude them from export, or hash them so that sensitive information is concealed. This ensures that you're not accidentally leaking sensitive data from your source systems!

7. Scalable, Predictable Pricing

Dataddo’s pricing is predictable and based on the number of data flows* you use, not the volume of data you extract, which can vary from month to month.

*A data flow is the connection between a source and its destination. For example, a connection between Facebook Ads and Google BigQuery would count as one flow.

This way, you'll always know upfront what you're paying!
