Get Facebook fan page ID

Question

I\'ve got the Facebook user ID of the user who created a given page. Now I need to get the page ID to display like box in my website.

Different users have their own Face

Answer 1

I am presuming that you are the user and you want the page id of a page that you are the admin of.

To get the id is fairly straightforward.

First, you need to get a list of all pages associated with the user id:

$fanpages = $facebook->api('me/accounts?access_token='.$accessToken);

You would then do a loop like:

foreach ($fanpages['data'] as $fanpage)
{
echo "<br />Fan Page Name: ".$fanpage['name'] . " ID: ".$fanpage['id'];
}

That would list all the pages associated with the id.

For a full list of the elements of the $fanpage array, take a look here:

Answer 2

The URL to the fan page will have the ID in it. For example, the Stack Overflow fan page

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Stack-Overflow/105665906133609

The ID is 105665906133609

Some pages have aliases, which are also usable as the ID. For example, the Marine Corps' fan page is

http://www.facebook.com/marinecorps

So the ID is marinecorps

Alternatively, you can use the generator on the documentation page as well.

Answer 3

You can replace www to graph in the page URL. For example id of the Coca-Cola page http://graph.facebook.com/cocacola (first value).
