No Use Case

This document shows you how to create a Meta app with No Use Case in the App Dashboard. Get a Meta app ID without adding any permissions, features, or products.

This guide assumes that you have read and implemented the requirements for creating an app with Meta.

1. Start the process

Navigate to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/creation/ to begin the app creation process.

2. Add app details

Add the following details about your app:

A name for your app
The email address to be used to contact you about this particular app

Click Next to save your app's details.

3: Add use cases

Select Create an app without a use case.
Click Next.

4. Add a Business

If you're building an app for a business you own or manage, you aren't required to connect a business to your app.

If you're a Tech Provider, you're building an app that will be serving clients or other business portfolios, you're required to connect your app to a business that has completed both Access and Business Verification before you can publish your app.

However, you can connect a business now or at any time during the development process.

Select an option and click Next.

Learn more about Access and Business Verification.

5. Requirements

Your app might need to complete certain requirements to maintain data access for a use case. These requirements will be listed, if applicable, with a link to the use case triggering the requirement and a link to learn more about each requirement. If an item is required for a use case, you can click the use case link to the right of each requirement to view which use case it applies to.

You can also review the Meta Platform Terms and Developer Policies.

Click Next.

6. Overview

This step allows you to review the following:

App name and email
Use cases added to your app
The business portfolio added to your app, if applicable
Requirements of your app, if applicable

The Meta Platform Terms and Developer Policies are linked here for you to review.

Click Go to dashboard.

You are redirected to your app's dashboard to:

Customize each use case you've selected for your app, and add additional permissions and features
Test each permission and feature of each use case (required if you are submitting your app for Meta App Review)
Check that all requirements, such as adding a privacy policy link or app icon in the app settings, have been met if you plan to publish your app

If you are building your app to access only data and assets you own, you don't need to submit your app for Meta App Review or publish your app. However, some products, such as webhooks, and some dashboard features, such as rate limit status, require you to publish your app.

If you are building an app to access data for other businesses, as a tech or solutions provider, you do need to submit your app for Meta App Review and publish your app.
