Facebook Public Profile API - URL, Biography & Profile ID

Pass a public profile URL in url. The observed Mark Zuckerberg response has a profile object with name, profile_id, url, verified, intro, image, cover_image, about_public, influencer_category and Reels collection identifiers. The about object was empty and delegate_page_id was null; do not promise these fields will be populated. Other public biography attributes may be present but should be minimized for the intended permitted purpose. This read does not expose private profile fields or prove identity for other similarly named people. Obtain appropriate permission for creator research and avoid inferring sensitive traits.

API Features

Observed profile response envelope The successful sample uses profile rather than the results object returned by Page details.

Public intro and biography entries intro and about_public were populated for the sampled public figure; about was empty.

Profile imagery references image and cover_image URLs were present without implying media reuse permission.

Profile Reels collection handoff The sample exposes reels_profile_id and reels_page_id for collection-aware follow-up workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Are public profile results inside results?

The validated sample uses a profile object, which should be distinguished from the results structure used by Page details.

Can I obtain non-public profile information or a complete background?

This is not promised. Only visible public fields are in scope, and some may be empty. Minimize retained data according to the permitted purpose.

Does finding a profile with the same name prove that it belongs to the person?

No. Manually confirm it using the submitted link and other context. Do not associate a real-world identity or infer sensitive traits from a same-name result alone.
