This is referring to 100 external software developers that use Facebook's APIs, not Facebook engineers as I initially assumed reading the title.

To clarify further, the exact phrasing used was "roughly 100 partners", as in roughly 100 external legal entities. Each legal entity could have any number of software developers.

Ok, we've put partners in the title above.

I use the facebook API but don't consider myself a facebook partner. I'm fine with "API user"

But other partners may have hundreds of users.

They 're all using my key, i get the data and i m responsible for it, not the FB user.

Ok, we've turned the partners into API users.
