Read Publicly Visible Profile Following
View all Facebook Public Data API endpoints →Supply profile_id for the documented visible-following lookup. To continue, pass both cursor and collection_id from the response for that same profile. This route has not been sampled, so followed-account fields, counts and completeness are unverified. It does not imply a private friend list, hidden relationships or permission to profile individuals. Use a consenting creator or another appropriate permitted purpose and minimize retained account references.

Frequently asked questions
What is needed for the next page of the following list?
The documented contract requires both cursor and collection_id from the response for the same profile. Do not save only one of them.
Can this read private friendships?
Do not use or advertise it that way. Its scope is publicly visible following references, not a private friend list or hidden relationships.
Is visible following enough to build a complete relationship graph?
No. Fields and coverage still need validation, and limited public references should not be used to infer unseen relationships or sensitive traits.
