Request body

JSON, posted to this endpoint.

  • querystring

    NASA

    Name to look up, as you would type it into Facebook's search box (e.g. NASA or plumber chicago).

  • limitinteger

    5

    Maximum number of matches to return (1-7, default 7). Facebook's quick search answers a name with at most 7 matches.

You send. A small JSON body. The values shown are examples to replace with your own.

Response

JSON, one example value per field.

each itemdata.items[]

Pages and profiles whose name matches the query, in Facebook's order. Matches can include personal profiles as well as Pages.

  • idstring

    18342518979

    Numeric Facebook id of the Page or profile, as a string. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

  • imagestring

    https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-1/nasa_profile.jpg?ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=abc123

    Profile picture URL. Facebook signs it in the query string, so it works only as returned and expires. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

  • isVerifiedboolean

    true

    Whether Facebook shows the verified badge on this Page or profile.

  • namestring

    NASA

    Display name of the Page or profile. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

  • urlstring

    https://www.facebook.com/NASA

    Facebook URL of the Page or profile. Populated whenever the provider has data for the entity.

top level
  • foundboolean

    true

  • reason"not_found"

    Present only when `found` is false, and says why there is no result. `not_found`: the source states the target does not exist, or returned nothing for it. A `found: false` answer is a successful call, not an error, and `costUsd` is what it actually cost.

You get back. Named, typed fields in the same shape whichever source answers.

FAQ

About the Facebook Page lookup API

The AnyAPI Facebook Page lookup API returns Facebook page lookup data as normalized JSON from one POST call to /v1/run/facebook.page_lookup. Look up Facebook Pages and profiles by name with Facebook's own quick search. A name lookup that returns basic identity fields only: name, URL, profile image, Facebook id, and verified status. Matches can include personal profiles as well as Pages. For full Page details (category, followers, phone, website), use facebook.search_pages.

Over the last 30 days, 100.0% of Facebook page lookup calls through AnyAPI succeeded, with a median response time of 3.0 seconds across 279 measured calls.

It costs from $9.75 per 1,000 requests, in US dollars with no subscription and no monthly minimum. You fund one USD wallet and each call draws it down. Some failed wallet-funded requests incur processing charges that we pass through at cost, with no markup; the error response shows the amount charged.
