Data Portability Developer Guide
Meta believes in the principle of data portability. If you share data with one service, you should be able to move it to another. This gives people choice and enables developers to innovate and compete. Data portability requires common standards, which is why we support standard data transfer formats and the open source Data Transfer Initiative (DTI).
Developers can create Data Transfer apps to list their service as a destination on Meta’s Download Your Information (DYI) and/or Transfer a copy of Your Information (TYI) tools.
To be listed as a data portability destination on DYI and/or TYI, you must create a Data Transfer app, then onboard, and submit your app for approval on Meta Developer Platform.
The open source Data Transfer Initiative facilitates the development of the required publicly accessible-adapters.
