# Get public Facebook group About information

> Fetches a public Facebook group's About-page information (from its `/about` page, logged-out): name, id, vanity, description, privacy, type, member count, creation date + history, cover photo, admins/moderators, and the group rules. Pass `url` OR `groupId`.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/facebook/group
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Scraperize API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Extract public data from social media platforms as clean JSON. Endpoints are
    split by platform and by what they return, e.g. `GET /v1/twitter/tweet`.


    ## Authentication

    Send your API key in the `x-api-key` header (or `Authorization: Bearer
    <key>`). Create keys in your dashboard.


    ## Credits

    Each successful live scrape costs **1 credit**. Credits are prepaid and
    never expire.


    ## Caching

    Every endpoint accepts an optional `cache_max_age`
    (`1d`|`3d`|`7d`|`14d`|`30d`). A cache hit within that window is returned for
    **0 credits**.


    ## Responses

    Success returns `{ "data": …, "meta": { "requestId", … } }`. Errors return
    `{ "error": { "code", "message", "requestId" } }` with a matching HTTP
    status. `meta` on a scrape carries `creditsCharged`, `creditsRemaining`,
    `cached`, and (on a hit) `cachedAt`.


    ## Rate limits

    Requests are limited per team per minute; over the limit returns `429` with
    a `Retry-After` header.
