Know Your Facebook Profile ID





If you want to know your Facebook Profile ID to find Fan Pages, setup Facebook Comment Box, Like Box then you probably need to know your Facebook ID. So, in order to know your Facebook  ID we can use Facebook Graph API.







Copy and paste the following URL to your address bar:






https://graph.facebook.com/your_user_name




Replace your_user_name with your Facebook Username.  



For example: My username is Liverpool.Rocks so to access my graph I need to type in 



https://graph.facebook.com/Liverpool.Rocks 



If you don't have setup a Username you don't need to worry. Simply, login to your Facebook and in a new tab type in: 



https://graph.facebook.com/your_name





The output obtained is:




{
"id": "1143197729",
"name": "Saugat Acharya",
"first_name": "Saugat",
"last_name": "Acharya",
"link": "http://www.facebook.com/saugat.acharya",
"username": "saugat.acharya",
"gender": "male",
"locale": "en_US"
}
