Sorry, We Couldn't Automatically Fetch Your Facebook ID

Try Again →

If you are facing this error while retrieving a Facebook ID with our FindMyFBID tool, there could be some reasons for the issue.

Why Can’t I Fetch My Facebook ID Using the Facebook ID Finder?

Our tool can crawl and retrieve all valid profiles, pages, and groups from Facebook. However, if you are unable to fetch the associated numeric Facebook ID, check for one of the following causes:

  • “Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile?” - Without turning on this Facebook privacy setting, our tool cannot access Facebook IDs.
  • The copied Facebook profile link/URL has typographical errors.
  • The Facebook account, page, or group has no valid link and might be spam.

How Can I Probe or Troubleshoot Issues With FindMyFBID?

To overcome common issues when not being able to find your Facebook ID, make sure to follow these steps before using our tool:

  1. Confirm that the link to the target Facebook profile, page, or group is valid with no typographical errors.
  2. Turn on the privacy setting in your browser to allow search engines and tools like FindMyFBID to link to your Facebook profile.
  3. Avoid pasting spam or ad links.

If the tool continues to throw an error message, feel free to contact our support team at [email protected].

Are There Other Ways to Find My Facebook ID if the Tool Doesn't Work?

If you don’t find the numeric ID with our tool, you can always manually retrieve the unique ID from the target Facebook page by following these steps:

  1. Open the Facebook website in your browser on any device.
  2. Login to your Facebook account.
  3. Navigate to the target profile, page, or group.
  4. Right-click anywhere on the target Facebook page and select "View Page Source."
  5. Search for one of the following using CTRL+F or CMD+F:
    • For profile ID, search for “fb://profile/”.
    • For page ID, search for “fb://page/”.
    • For group ID, search for “fb://group/”.
  6. The numerical string that follows the above search strings in the source file is your required Facebook ID.
