About this endpoint

`GET /v1/facebook/groups` returns the public About-page profile for a Facebook group. Pass a full public group `url` (`facebook.com/groups/{id-or-slug}/…`, including `/about`) or a numeric `groupId`. Branch on `data.lookupStatus` before you read `data.group` — `found` or `not_found`. On `found`, the group object includes id, url, name, description, createdAt, historySummary, privacy and visibility labels, categories, memberCount, administratorCount, moderatorCount, administrators, moderators, activity, and rules when Facebook exposes them. Bill from `meta.creditsCharged`.

This route is the group profile only. For the group feed use `GET /v1/facebook/groups/posts`. For a Page or personal profile use `GET /v1/facebook/profiles`.

Facebook group API FAQ

How do I look up a Facebook group via API?

Call `GET /v1/facebook/groups` with your Social Fetch API key (`x-api-key`) and either a public group `url` or numeric `groupId`. Read `data.lookupStatus` and `data.group` in the JSON response. See the API docs for parameters and examples.

How much does the Facebook group endpoint cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged — that field is the billing source of truth.

What identifier should I pass?

Pass a full public Facebook group URL such as `facebook.com/groups/{id-or-slug}/…`, or a numeric `groupId`. Profile and Page URLs belong on `GET /v1/facebook/profiles`. Wrong or unresolved groups often resolve as `lookupStatus: not_found`.

Group profile vs group posts?

Use this route for the group's About-page profile (privacy, members, admins, rules). Use `GET /v1/facebook/groups/posts` to page the public group feed.

Do I need Meta Graph API access or group admin rights?

No. Social Fetch returns publicly visible group About-page details for enrichment-style lookups. Private groups are not accessible.
