How to find a Facebook ID (if a shortened URL has been assigned)

August 14, 2011 5 Comments

Profile
View page source > Ctrl + F “/profile.php?id=”
This shows the profile IDs of either the Facebook user or of other Facebook users who have interacted on the page.  To be sure it is the correct Facebook user’s ID, copy the ID and paste into the Graph API Explorer.
https://graph.facebook.com/ 4902198

The process can also be reversed to find who is assigned to a Facebook ID by entering “http://www.facebook.com /profile.php?id=” followed by the ID.

Page
As an admin, click “Edit Page” and see ID in URL at top of page. As a non-admin, follow same process as for profile (above).
