# Facebook Search People API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/facebook/search-people)

> Searches public Facebook people by keyword and returns unified Author items: profile id, display name, permalink, avatar, and verified flag. The id is often a `pfbid` token rather than a numeric user id. Follower counts are not on this search card. About 7 people a page. Forward `pagination.next_cursor` as `cursor`.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/facebook/search/people` costs 1 credit per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | Name or phrase to search for. |
| `cursor` | no | Cursor from the previous response. |

## Code example

```bash
curl "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/search/people?query=NASA" \
  -H "x-api-key: sc_YOUR_API_KEY"
```
