Show us a link to a Facebook advertising API which can give me bidstream data which includes a user's demographic info? The links describe "Modern programmatic advertising" including "Patternz" but have not shown that Facebook is an implementor.

For the record every time I have advertised on both Google and Facebook, it works in reverse: I give them my ad, audience info, and how much I'm willing to bid, and they run an auction per impression (of which I don't get to participate in knowing the details directly). I get no user data, only the bill. If I did get user data (presumably with user consent) I would start my own direct-marketing mailing or email list and stop paying the ad-tech companies each time (who act as gate-keepers).

I do not have a link for Facebook, and I did not claim that Patternz was slurping data from Facebook specifically.

But here's a couple links for Google: https://developers.google.com/authorized-buyers/rtb/start and https://developers.google.com/authorized-buyers/rtb/download... .

You are just not in the right position in the market to do much slurping.
