What is Facebook?
Facebook is the largest social network in the world — founded in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg as a Harvard-only network, opened to the public in 2006, and home to roughly 3 billion monthly active users today.
Every Facebook account, public Page, group, and event is identified by a numeric ID. The same ID powers Facebook Login, Messenger, the Graph API, and Facebook Ads. The vanity URL (facebook.com/your.name) is a friendly alias — under the hood, everything is keyed on the numeric ID.
How Facebook user IDs evolved
From the very first IDs to today's modern numeric format — here's how the system grew alongside the platform itself.
-
2004
Tiny sequential IDs (1–1000)
Facebook started at Harvard with single-digit IDs. Mark Zuckerberg's personal profile is famously ID 4 (the first three were test accounts). Co-founder Chris Hughes is ID 5, Dustin Moskovitz is ID 6, and Eduardo Saverin is ID 8.
-
2006–2009
IDs grow into the millions
When Facebook opened beyond universities in 2006, IDs ballooned into the millions. By 2009 a typical new signup had an ID around 100,000,000 (nine digits).
-
2010–2014
Custom URLs & "Username" introduced
Facebook rolled out custom vanity URLs (facebook.com/username) in 2009, and over the next few years the numeric ID became increasingly hidden from end users. Internally, every action still resolves to the underlying numeric ID.
-
2014+
15-digit modern Profile IDs
Newer personal-profile IDs typically start with
100and run 14–15 digits long (e.g.100012345678901). Facebook Pages, on the other hand, still use shorter 10–17 digit IDs (e.g. zuck's Page111895498378878). -
2017+
App-Scoped IDs (PSIDs)
For privacy, Facebook's newer apps and Messenger bots receive an app-scoped Page-Scoped ID (PSID) per user instead of the global ID — but the global numeric ID still exists and is what IDInfo returns for public profiles and Pages.
What you get from a Facebook lookup
Every Facebook profile resolved through IDInfo returns these fields, all from public sources.
Numeric profile / Page ID
Permanent ID used by Graph API, Ads Manager, Messenger Bot Platform.
Profile picture (high-res)
Direct image URL, served via our cached avatar proxy to dodge expiry.
Vanity username
The /facebook.com/<vanity> handle if one is set.
Public stats
For Pages: follower count, likes, category, and verified status.
Why your Facebook ID matters
- Facebook Ads Manager requires the Page ID to run ads, install the Pixel, or add admins.
- Messenger Bot Platform uses the Page ID for webhook subscriptions and message routing.
- Graph API & oEmbed: every Graph endpoint accepts the numeric ID as the canonical path parameter.
- Embedded posts & like-boxes on third-party websites reference the Page by ID, so they keep working after a rebrand.
