I used to be able to go to my Facebook profile page https://www.facebook.com/{Username} and replace the "www" for "graph" https://graph.facebook.com/{Username}.

The answer to that used to be my real facebook ID and some other info, but now I get: 

{
   "error": {
      "message": "(#803) Cannot query users by their username ({Username})",
      "type": "OAuthException",
      "code": 803
   }
}

Yesterday I made the exact same thing and it worked, but today it doesn't. Is there any other way of finding my ID? Does it work for anyone?

  • Maybe you will have to pass your credentials into the api. (the json error talk about oauth) – richerlariviere Jun 16 '15 at 14:22
  • What do you _need_ your global user id for anyhow? Every third party app that you use under API v2 will get an app-scoped user id anyway. – CBroe Jun 16 '15 at 17:38
  • Giving my global ID I can be assigned a Role on all the company's apps, even if I have never logged in any of them. We don't know another way to do it besides going manually to every app. – Juan Carlos Carbonell Jun 17 '15 at 10:21

For finding any facebook group_id or page_id or user_id go to inspect element of page and find these in meta tags.

Group Id

 fb://group/Here_is_your_group_id

Profile user_id

 fb://profile/here_is_your_user_id

Page Id

fb://page/here_is_your_page_id

There are already 3 exact same questions in the last 2 hours. Please use the search function of StackOverflow before posting a question!

You cannot get the username field anymore. This is very well documented in the Facebook docs.

graph.facebook.com/{Username} is not available now but lookup-id.com still can find your facebook ID

If you only have your user ID, the simplest way would be to use an online service (like this one: http://getuserid.com) and paste your Facebook username.

If you need the user ID by programming, this is different. You could in this case parse the HTML code of the page (CTRL + U will show you the HTML code of the page) and search for the term entity_id, which is the user ID. You could then use regex to extract the information.

There is no way to get your Facebook ID via the Graph API!

You can use a regular expression to find your Facebook ID. If you paste the source of a profile page (or page/group) inside http://regexr.com/3gi7q it will match the Facebook ID for you.

It is using the following regex to find the Facebook ID:

/fb:\/\/profile\/(\d+)|fb:\/\/page\/\?id=(\d+)|fb:\/\/group\/\?id=(\d+)/;

You can also use the tool i created and just fill in your profile url: https://commentpicker.com/find-facebook-id.php

Go to your Facebook profile and right click on your cover photo, if you copy the URL it should have your Facebook id in it like so. fbid is what you want. I don't there's any AIP for it anymore. Looks like Facebook may be finally phasing it out.

You can use the sources already identified or you can right click below the navigation bar and view page source. Use your CTRL+F (find) and search for [profile_owner&quot].

The number listed shortly thereafter will be your global ID. It will generally look like this:

[profile_owner":"10000320024513431&quot].

The # is listed multiple times (like 75) in the data and follows terms such as ["profile_id"], ["uid":], and [?profileid=] to name a few.

Head over to here and authenticate with it, you can then use the Graph explorer to get your ID. You'll also need an access token to view the https://graph.facebook.com/{ID} page.

I just tested this for you and it works correct. I can see FB source and above i can see my FB ID also. I used https://graph.facebook.com/username and tested with firefox. Maybe your using it wrong per accident? It seems like code 803 means no valid username. Are you really sure you are using a correct username?

You can also try below link to find your FB ID.

Good luck mate!
