# Get public Facebook profile information

> Fetches a public Facebook page/profile's information (from its `/about` tab, logged-out): identity (name, id, url, username, verified, profile & cover photos), categories, follower/following counts, contact (phone, email, website, address), rating, and (optionally) the business hours status.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json get /v1/facebook/profile
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.
