如何从Facebook页面名称获取Facebook页面ID

Question

I'd like to know how to get fb page id from fb page name.

As you can see here it shows number of likes from facebook page name.

How can I do this? Any help would be appreciate.

It´s a simple API call:

/page-name?fields=id,name,fan_count

You will get the ID, the name of the Page and the likes. For example: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=bladauhu%3Ffields%3Did%2Cname%2Cfan_count&version=v2.8

Result:

{
  "id": "186482018683",
  "name": "SV Blada UHU",
  "fan_count": 218
}

You can also use the Search API if you want to search for a Page by its full name: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/using-graph-api#search

For example: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=search%3Ftype%3Dpage%26q%3DBottom%20of%20the%20Hill&version=v2.8
