Get a Facebook Page or public profile from its url. It includes category, bio, likes, followers, verification badge and any contact details it shows. Phone and email are only what the page displays. They do not verify identity or permit their use.
Send POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with platform set to facebook and action set to profile. Price $2.78 per 1,000 requests ($0.002778 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Asynchronous by default: returns a job_id first; poll GET /api/v1/jobs/{job_id}.
AI prompt
#Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Facebook Details endpoint (facebook/profile).
How the endpoint works:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to facebook and action to profile, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
- url: Specifies the target URL corresponding to the requested action. Use public Page URLs for profile and user_posts, post URLs for post and comments, group page URLs or group identifiers for group_posts, and business page UR…
- Returns one object. Main fields: id, name, url, bio, category, like_count, follower_count, is_verified, phone, email, website, rating; 14 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=facebook.
- Example request body:
{
"platform": "facebook",
"action": "profile",
"params": {
"url": "https://www.facebook.com/nasa"
}
}
- Price: $2.78 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- This endpoint is asynchronous by default: it returns 202 and a job_id, then you poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} until the status is succeeded or failed.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.
Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.Request parameters

Response fields
#Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
name | Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities. |
url | Link to the record on the platform. |
bio | Profile bio written by the account; may contain line breaks and emoji. |
category | Category name in the platform's own taxonomy, not normalized across platforms. |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
follower_count | Followers. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
is_verified | Whether the platform verified the account. null means it cannot be determined. |
phone | Contact phone number, passed through without format normalization. |
email | Contact email address, passed through as is. |
website | External website entered by the account or business. |
rating | Rating. The scale varies by platform: rating_scale on the same row gives the maximum (usually 5; Booking, Douban, iQIYI and NAVER use 10). Convert with rating_scale before comparing across platforms, or the comparison can come out backwards. |
rating_scale | Maximum of rating in the same row: 5 for five-star scales, 10 for ten-point scales. Present only when the row has a rating. |
avatar_url | Avatar image link. Some platforms return sized CDN links that can expire. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
