API to search pages

You need to programmatically find Facebook Pages by keyword and return the page URL, name, image, and whether it’s verified. By the end of this guide, you’ll ship a working integration that searches Facebook Pages (plus optional Events and Videos) using a single API key from Zyla API Hub and copy-pasteable code.

What this API gives you

The Facebook Scraper API exposes keyword search across Facebook content. From the data shown below, you can:

Search Pages by a text query and get back a list of matching pages with URLs, names, IDs, and verification flags.
Search Events by keyword and receive event IDs, titles, and URLs, plus an optional cursor string in the response.
Search Videos by keyword and retrieve video IDs, URLs, metadata (title/description), author, thumbnail, and view/time text.

This is useful for brand monitoring, lead qualification, editorial research, and automated sourcing. It runs under a single Zyla account and API key; the subscription is quota-based (not pay-per-call). For the first API you try, you can start with a 7-day trial or 50 requests—check the API page for current access options and pricing.

What you’ll typically use from each result:

type: "page" confirms the item type.
name: the page’s display name.
url and profile_url: direct links to the Facebook page.
facebook_id: stable page identifier you can store in your DB for de-duplication and future refreshes.
is_verified: boolean to prioritize official pages in your workflow.
image.uri with width/height/scale: a usable avatar/thumbnail for UI.

Python example: extract Page URLs, IDs, and verification

resp.raise_for_status()
data = resp.json()

})

for p in pages:
print(f"{p['name']} ({'verified' if p['is_verified'] else 'unverified'}) - {p['url']} - id={p['facebook_id']}")

Official sample: Profile Details by URL

The listing also provides an example call that resolves a Facebook profile by URL. This is useful when you already have a profile link and need structured details.

From this payload, you’ll typically read profile.name, profile.profile_id, profile.url, profile.image, and profile.verified to surface identity info or link back to the source.

Putting it together in production

Normalize IDs: store facebook_id (page), event_id, and video_id as primary keys. De-duplicate by these over time.
Cache responses: keyword searches are repeatable; cache them on your side for a short TTL to reduce redundant calls.
Respect source policies: only display and process data as permitted by your use case and applicable terms.
UI hygiene: the image and thumbnail fields are direct CDN URIs suited for avatars or preview tiles.
Cursor handling: when present (e.g., in events results), persist the cursor string so you can maintain continuity between fetches.
Error handling: check HTTP status codes; treat timeouts and network errors with retries and backoff as appropriate.

Practical use cases that ship this week

Brand discovery: search pages for your brand name; show verified pages first via is_verified.
Lead routing: enrich inbound leads with a matching page url and facebook_id for your CRM.
Event curation: search-events by a topic (e.g., “beer”) and post the event_id/title/url to your calendar or Slack.
Content surfacing: search-videos for your niche keyword and embed video_url alongside author and thumbnail.

Call from AI agents via MCP

If you prefer to operate through an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client), Zyla exposes an MCP endpoint. Point your tool to:

MCP

Pass your Zyla API key (same Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY value) to the MCP client as directed by your agent. Tools can then issue the same endpoint calls shown above from within an agent session. This is handy for scripted searches (e.g., “search pages for X, then fetch videos for Y”).

To browse, subscribe, and manage keys for additional services, visit Zyla API Hub.

Tips that save you time

Prioritize verification: use is_verified to rank official pages to the top of your results UI.
Store both url and facebook_id: URLs are human-friendly; IDs are stable for re-fetching or cross-referencing.
Language considerations: titles and descriptions may include non-Latin scripts; make sure your storage is UTF-8.
Rate usage: the subscription is quota-based; design your polling or backfills accordingly. For first use, a 7-day trial or 50 requests can help validate your flow—check the API page for current details.

FAQ

How do I authenticate?
Send the header Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY with each request. You obtain this key by subscribing on the API’s listing page.

What data fields do I get back for page search?
The response contains results[], where each item includes type, name, url/profile_url, image { uri, width, height, scale }, facebook_id, and is_verified.

Is there pagination?
The Search Events response can include a cursor string. Keep that value if you plan to maintain continuity across fetches. If additional pagination controls are available, they will appear on the API page.

Can I call these endpoints from an AI agent?
Yes. Use Zyla’s MCP endpoint so your MCP-compatible client can call the same endpoints with your API key.

Is there a free plan?
There’s no free plan. The subscription uses a quota model, not pay-per-call. For your first API, you can start with a 7-day trial or 50 requests—see the listing for the most up-to-date access options.
