Are there any IG or FB public endpoints I can query without getting target user permissions?
1

I have a platform where I need to show followers and some other public/key data from these social networks. I wanted to consume data directly from official API instead of any external provided, but, according to official docs, it seems like I need to promt each user to give permissions to my app so I can query their profiles.

Since I'm just wanting to access public data, is there any alternative I'm missing to get this kind of data without asking for permissions?

I have more than 1k profiles in my platform, so it's not viable to promp all of them for just followers count.

No. Official APIs need information as to why and how you are utilising information - public or not. Hence you will need to go through the needed channels to obtain permissions
