Facebook Page Details API
Facebook page profile — likes vs followers (distinct), talkingAbout, category, website, and public email.
GET request to /v1/facebook/page-details that responds with clean JSON and costs 2 credits. Pass cache=true for a free 24h cache hit; default is always fresh. Start with 100 free credits — no credit card.What is the Facebook Page Details API?
Pass a Facebook page URL, @handle, or page name and get clean JSON: username, displayName (short brand) + fullName (page title), bio, verified, profileImage/coverImage, category, website, and public email when the page exposes one (CRM/outreach-ready). Metrics are distinct: likes, followers, following, and talkingAbout — each count that is present carries its own *IsApproximate flag (followers often a compact chrome label like 28M → followersIsApproximate=true; exact og likes like 28,695,557 → likesIsApproximate=false). Likes are never copied into followers. Flat 2 credits. Pass cache=true for the 24h shared cache.
What you get
- Display name, handle or URL, bio, and avatar when available
- Follower / subscriber and content counts
- Verification status and external links when exposed
- Structured JSON ready for enrichment and dashboards
