Find Facebook ID

To find a Facebook ID (for a user or a page), there are several methods you can use depending on the type of ID you need. Here are the most common ways to find a Facebook user or page ID:

1. Finding Your Facebook ID

For Facebook Profile:

• Method 1: Using the Facebook URL
  1. Go to your Facebook profile.
  2. In the URL bar of your browser, you’ll see a URL like this:
     arduino

     CopyEdit

     https://www.facebook.com/your.username
  • If your username is a custom name (e.g., "john.doe"), this method won't give you the ID directly.
  • If you see numbers (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/1234567890), those numbers are your Facebook ID.

For Facebook Page:

1. Open the Facebook Page you want the ID for.
2. In the browser's URL, look for a long number, such as:
   ruby

   CopyEdit

   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Page-Name/123456789012345
   • The number after /pages/ is the Facebook page ID.

2. Using Facebook’s Graph API Explorer

If you want to find a Facebook ID programmatically, you can use Facebook's Graph API:

1. Go to the Facebook Graph API Explorer: Graph API Explorer
2. If you're looking for a page ID or user ID, you can enter the Facebook username or page name in the API query:
   • For a user: https://graph.facebook.com/username
   • For a page: https://graph.facebook.com/page_name
3. You will get the ID of that user or page as part of the response.

3. Third-Party Tools (Optional)

There are also third-party tools and websites that can extract Facebook IDs for pages and users. Some tools like Find My Facebook ID can help you extract the ID by simply entering the URL of a Facebook profile or page.

Note: Be cautious when using third-party services, as they may not be secure.

Privacy Considerations

• User Privacy: Facebook has privacy policies in place to protect users' personal data, so you should ensure that you are accessing or using Facebook IDs within the bounds of Facebook's terms of service.
• Page vs. User IDs: Public Pages have visible IDs that are easier to find, while user IDs might not be as easily accessible due to privacy settings.

If you need a specific Facebook user’s ID, it may no longer be publicly available due to Facebook's privacy updates.
