Facebook Public People Search API

Provide query and optionally cursor to request documented people-search candidates. This endpoint has not been sampled, so profile fields, result shape and identity matching are unverified. Treat every result as a candidate for human confirmation, not proof that a particular person owns an account. Use public-figure or opted-in creator discovery within appropriate permissions; no private contact details, sensitive-attribute inference or identity verification is promised.

API Features

Name-based profile discovery Starts with a query when a confirmed profile URL or identifier is not yet known.

Candidate identity caution Name similarity must be reviewed before associating a returned profile with a real person.

People-search cursor input A cursor can continue the documented people-search collection without assuming exact ranking.

No private-contact enrichment The route is not presented as a source of phone numbers, private emails or sensitive traits.

Use Cases

Help a public-speaker directory review candidate profile links submitted by its contributors.

Evaluate ambiguity among same-name profiles before accepting a directory match.
Design a discovery flow that requests identity confirmation before attaching profile data to a person.

Frequently asked questions

Can I directly associate a same-name account with the person?

No. Results are candidates requiring human checks against known context, submitted links, confirmation by the person or other appropriate evidence.

Does people search provide private phone numbers or email addresses?

No such capability is promised. Do not use it to enrich private contact information or infer sensitive traits.

Are the people-search result fields established?

No independent sample has been obtained yet. Validate the envelope, profile fields and continuation method first.
