📘 Find Facebook ID

Extract the numeric Facebook ID of any public page or profile from its URL — useful for Facebook API integrations, Open Graph tags, and ad campaigns that require the canonical numeric ID rather than the vanity URL.

What is the find facebook id?

Every Facebook page and profile has a permanent numeric ID separate from its vanity URL. The vanity URL can change; the numeric ID is forever. Many integrations — Facebook Pixel, custom audience uploads, Open Graph fb:admins tags, third-party social embeds — require the numeric ID. Finding it manually means viewing page source and grep-ing for 'page_id' or similar; this tool does it in one click.

How does this find facebook id work?

Paste the Facebook URL. The tool first checks for direct numeric IDs in URLs like profile.php?id=123 or facebook.com/123456789. If those don't match, it fetches the page and looks for page_id, entity_id, or fb://page/?id= patterns inside the rendered HTML.

When should you use this tool?

Use it when integrating Facebook Pixel custom audiences, when adding fb:admins or fb:app_id Open Graph tags, when setting up Facebook Conversions API, or when the Facebook Marketing API requires a page ID that's hard to find through the dashboard.

Tips & best practices

For pages you administer, find the ID directly in your Page Settings → Page Info. For pages you don't own, this tool's HTML-fetching approach works for most public pages. Private profiles can't be inspected this way — they require API access with appropriate permissions.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a numeric ID instead of the vanity URL?

Vanity URLs can change; numeric IDs are permanent. APIs and ad systems require the stable numeric reference.

Why can't the tool find the ID for some URLs?

Facebook obfuscates IDs in some markup variants. For pages you administer, get the ID from your Page Settings.

Are profile IDs the same as page IDs?

Both are 64-bit integers, but they're different namespaces — profiles vs pages. The format is the same.
