SearchAPI.io - Facebook Business Page API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-facebook-business-page on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

Retrieve the public profile of a Facebook Business Page or personal profile, including its name, follower counts, photos, and the details listed in the page’s About section such as category, address, contact details, opening hours, and rating. Business pages and personal profiles expose different About fields. Business pages return fields such as category, address, phone, and rating, while personal profiles return fields such as work, education, hometown, and relationship. Both are returned under the same about object, and only the fields present on the profile are included. Cross-linking: page_id and username are the same identifiers used by the Facebook Business Page Reviews API, so a page located here can be passed straight to that API to fetch the reviews behind about.rating and about.reviews_count. Send one of: page_id, username, url.

Inputs

Name Type Required Description
engine string no Fixed to “facebook_business_page” for this endpoint. Example: “facebook_business_page”
page_id string no
url string no
username string no

Output

Shape of the run’s result, checked against 3 real answers:

{ page: { id, link, name, followers: { link, text, count }, is_verified, cover_photo_link, profile_photo_link, cover_photo_original, profile_photo_original }, about: { website, category, category_formatted: string[] }, error, search_metadata: { id, status, html_url, json_url, created_at, request_url, total_time_taken, parsing_time_taken, request_time_taken }, search_parameters: { engine, username } }

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in 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:

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":"searchapi-io-facebook-business-page","input":{"engine":"facebook_business_page","page_id":"<page_id>"},"wait":30}'
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: "searchapi-io-facebook-business-page",
    input: {
      engine: "facebook_business_page",
      page_id: "<page_id>",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
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": "searchapi-io-facebook-business-page",
        "input": {
            "engine": "facebook_business_page",
            "page_id": "<page_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:search.facebook-business-page as endpointId; see the job page.
