Enabling Developers to Optimize Content Performance: Introducing Facebook Organic A/B Testing API for Reels and Videos

Today we’re releasing Facebook Organic A/B Testing API, an enterprise API solution for developers to programmatically test their content by running an A/B test experiment across new video and reel posts on Facebook Pages and New Pages Experience (AP+) only. The API enables the feature from a third-party desktop app and web experience.

This tool can help optimize post's performance. Analyze what kinds of content an audience responds to the best and discover trends so that informed decisions about future posts can be made. This API allows developers to empower creators by maximizing the distribution of their video content on Facebook, and learn through insights what changes can be made to improve the distribution.

This unlocks a whole new world of use cases that can benefit creators and businesses. And for developers, this opens up new opportunities for you to help your customers transform their businesses.

Limitations apply, please refer to the Developer Documents for more info.

Driving Better Engagement with A/B Testing

Facebook Organic A/B testing API lets you test up to four variants of a new post against each other to see which one your audience likes most. The variants are versions of a post that differ from each other, for instance the same video with four different titles. During the test, the posts are circulated to a subset of your audience, but not posted to your Page. When the test ends, the winning post is published on your Page and distributed to your full audience.

The optimization metrics are: Reels Plays, Comments, Shares, Reactions, Impressions, Impressions Unique, Link clicks, Video Views 60s, Average Time Watched.
