How to use the find facebook page ID
- 1Paste a Facebook URL into Facebook URL or page source. If the URL ends in a username, open the page on a computer, press Ctrl+U, copy all of the source and paste that instead.
- 2Read the IDs under Numeric IDs found, with the pattern each came from and how often it appeared.
- 3Press Copy ID, or Check on Facebook to confirm it opens the right Page or profile.
URLs that contain an ID

Finding the ID from a URL
Some Facebook addresses include the numeric ID, and the tool reads it directly:
facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064581837321(profiles and newer Pages without a username)facebook.com/people/Name/100089123456789/facebook.com/Page-Name-123456789012345/andfacebook.com/pages/Name/ID/(older Page URLs)facebook.com/groups/987654321098765fb://page/…andfb://profile/…app links
Addresses ending in a username, such as facebook.com/nasa, don't contain the number. Resolving a username needs Facebook's servers, and this tool doesn't contact them.
Manual method: About section and page source
If you manage the Page: open it while logged in as an admin, go to About → Page transparency, and copy the Page ID. Meta Business Suite shows it in the Page's settings too.
For any public Page or profile: open it in a desktop browser, press Ctrl+U (⌘+Option+U on a Mac) to view the source, select all, copy and paste it into the box. The tool searches for fields such as "pageID", "profile_id" and fb://page/ app links. IDs belonging to the account you were logged in with (USER_ID, actorID) are recognized and ignored, so they aren't mistaken for the Page's ID.
Page ID vs profile ID vs username
- A username (vanity URL) is the readable part of the address, such as
nasa. It can be changed. - A profile ID identifies a personal account; a Page ID identifies a business or public-figure Page; a group ID identifies a group. These numbers don't change when the username does.
Integrations usually want the number: Graph API calls and several Meta Business settings refer to the Page ID. Make sure you copy the Page's ID, not your own profile's, when setting these up.
Why some IDs can't be looked up
Facebook's Graph API no longer returns a Page's ID from its username without an access token from an approved app, and Facebook pages block automated fetching. Tools that claim to look up any username either use an access token you have to supply or scrape Facebook against its terms.
This tool avoids both: it reads only what you paste. If the source you paste comes from a private profile or a page you can't see, the ID won't be in it.
