# Facebook Page About API

Get the About section of a public Facebook page: category, the About narrative, description text and canonical URL. One request returns one page About section. A page with no About text returns null values rather than an empty string.

- **Documentation:** [https://scrappa.co/docs/facebook-api/facebook_page_about](https://scrappa.co/docs/facebook-api/facebook_page_about)
- **API group:** Facebook API
- **Endpoint:** `GET https://scrappa.co/api/facebook/page/about`

## Authentication

Send your Scrappa API key in the `X-API-KEY` request header. Paid endpoints also support accountless x402 payments when called without an API key.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `handle` | string | Yes | Facebook page handle, without the @ or the facebook.com prefix (e.g. nasa). |

## Example request

```bash
#!/bin/bash

curl -X GET \
    -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" \
    "https://scrappa.co/api/facebook/page/about?handle=nasa"
```

## Errors

| Status | Error | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 422 | Validation Error | A required parameter is missing or malformed, for example a handle with characters Facebook does not allow or a non-numeric id. |
| 404 | Not Found | The page, profile, group, event, photo, reel, post or listing does not exist, is not public, or was served by Facebook without the requested record. This is the truthful answer, not a temporary fault: it is never billed and retrying the same permalink will not change it. |
| 503 | Records Not Read | Facebook returned records for this request that the parser could not read. The origin status is 502 and it is reported here as 503 because Cloudflare replaces 502 and 504 bodies with its own page. This request is never billed: the customer received no data. |
| 503 | Temporarily Unavailable | The upstream service is temporarily unavailable. Please retry shortly. |
