Retrieves public Facebook page details including category, address, email, phone, website, services, priceRange, rating, likeCount, talkingAboutCount, and followerCount. talkingAboutCount is nullable and only returned when Facebook exposes it publicly. Also returns adLibrary status with the page's ad activity and pageId. Optionally includes businessHours when get_business_hours is set to true. Contact fields come from the submitted public profile. To request removal of your own information from Scrape Creators results, email support@scrapecreators.com with the profile URL. If Facebook shows an 18+ content gate, the response is still 200 with account_status: "age-restricted" and isPrivate: true. If Facebook shows a private content gate, the response is still 200 with account_status: "private" and isPrivate: true. If the page is not found, the response is 404 with accountDoesNotExist: true and isPrivate: false. Set include_gated_profile=true to also return limited public fields (such as id, name, category, likeCount, profilePicSmall, and links) when a profile is gated or age-restricted. This option only affects gated/age-restricted profiles, public profiles still return the normal full response.

## Inputs

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `cache_max_age` | string | no | Example: "7d" |
| `get_business_hours` | string | no | Example: "true" |
| `include_gated_profile` | string | no |   |
| `url` | string | yes | Example: "https://www.facebook.com/mantraindianfolsom" |

## Output

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

```txt
{ id, url, name, gender, success, adLibrary: { pageId, adStatus }, coverPhoto: { focus: { x, y }, photo: { id, url } }, creationDate, credits_charged, credits_remaining }
```

## 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:

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