Fetches the public information shown on a Facebook group's About page, including its description, privacy and visibility, member and activity counts, categories, administrators and moderators when Facebook exposes them, group history, and rules. Provide either url or group_id. Send one of: url, group_id.

- **Tool id:** `scrapecreators-facebook-group`
- **Provider:** [ScrapeCreators](/providers/scrapecreators)
- **Job:** [Group facebook](/reference/jobs/facebook-group) (`facebook.group`)
- **Price:** $0.00188 per call. A call that fails at the provider costs $0.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `group_id` | string | no |   |
| `url` | string | no | Example: "https://www.facebook.com/groups/366190054572553/about" |

## Output

Shape of the run's `result`, the expected shape, not yet checked against real answers:

```txt
{ id, url, name, privacy: { label, description }, success, categories: { id, name }[], created_at, visibility: { label, description }, description, member_count, credits_charged, history_summary, credits_remaining, member_count_text, administrator_count }
```

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

Example input with placeholder values:

<CodeGroup>

```bash curl
curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"scrapecreators-facebook-group","input":{"url":"<url>","group_id":"<group_id>"},"wait":30}'
```

```js JavaScript
const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "scrapecreators-facebook-group",
    input: {
      url: "<url>",
      group_id: "<group_id>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
```

```python Python
import os
import uuid

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['LOOOT_TOKEN']}",
        "Idempotency-Key": str(uuid.uuid4()),
    },
    json={
        "endpointId": "scrapecreators-facebook-group",
        "input": {
            "url": "<url>",
            "group_id": "<group_id>",
        },
        "wait": 30,
    },
    timeout=90,
)
run = response.json()
print(run["status"], run.get("result"))
```

To let looot pick among every provider of this job instead, send `job:facebook.group` as `endpointId`; see [the job page](/reference/jobs/facebook-group).
