Currently, I do not think there is a native integration between Azure Blob and Meta. Data Partners would be a choice, Acho.io also.

https://pipes.datavirtuality.com/connectors/join/facebook/azure-blob-storage/
is there a way to do it with azure function without passing by an external connector ?
Not as far as I know, but you can check this : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sentinel/data-connectors/workplace-from-facebook-using-azure-functions

Hello Wajih Arfaoui,
Greetings! Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Adding to above responses, to retrieve data about your Facebook page, you can use the Facebook Graph API to extract data from Facebook. Once you have the data, you can store it in Azure Blob storage by generating and providing access token to make requests to the Graph API and retrieve data about your page. refer - Manage properties and metadata for a blob with Python - Azure Storage | Microsoft Learn you can use Azure Event Hubs to collect the data and Azure Stream Analytics to process the data in real-time.
Alternatively, you can also use Azure Cosmos DB to store the data from Facebook. Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service designed for use cases such as social media, gaming, and e-commerce. You can learn more about the design pattern for social media apps using Azure Cosmos DB here: Going social with Azure Cosmos DB.

Hello, thank you for your answer ! Is there a way to use Azure Functions with the API to pull data or with a REST connector in the Azure Data Factory ? Thanks
Yes, you can use Azure Functions to pull data from Facebook’s API and store it in Azure Blob Storage
reference - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/document-intelligence/tutorial-azure-function?view=doc-intel-4.0.0 & SO thread to call a rest API using Azure functions https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64894191/calling-a-rest-api-using-azure-function-app-and-store-data-in-azure-container.
Alternatively, you can also use Azure Data Factory to copy data from and to a REST endpoint by using a REST connector.
In data factory you will have to use a copy activity and in the source side, use the REST connector and in the sink side.
refer REST connector documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/connector-rest?tabs=data-factory for detailed guidelines.
