Pages and profiles

The entity commands turn a handle into a full record and stream its feed. page, profile, and group share the same shape: bare for metadata, with a flag to stream.

Pages

A bare page resolves the Page's metadata:

fb page nasa -o json

The record carries the name, category, about text, like and follower counts, verification, website, and avatar. Stream the feed with --posts:

fb page nasa --posts --limit 20 -o jsonl

page also has shortcuts into a Page's other tabs, so you do not need the separate media commands when you start from a Page:

fb page nasa --photos --limit 50 -o jsonl
fb page nasa --videos -o jsonl
fb page nasa --events
fb page nasa --about -o json

You can pass several handles at once, or read them from stdin with -:

fb page nasa spacex -o jsonl
echo -e "nasa\nspacex" | fb page - -o jsonl

Profiles

A profile is a person rather than a Page, but works the same way:

fb profile zuck -o json
fb profile zuck --posts --limit 20 -o jsonl

Profiles accept a username (zuck) or a numeric id (profile.php?id=100000000000000). What is visible depends on the person's privacy settings; a profile that is not public to anonymous visitors exits 4.

Groups

A group resolves by id or slug, and streams its feed with --posts:

fb group 123456789 -o json
fb group 123456789 --posts --limit 50 -o jsonl

feed: any handle, one command

When you do not care whether something is a Page, profile, or group, feed classifies the handle and streams whatever feed it has:

fb feed nasa zuck --limit 20 -o jsonl

Walking deep, and stopping by date

--limit walks as many "see more" pages as it needs to reach the count, then stops. To bound a feed by time instead, use --since and --until:

fb page nasa --posts --since 2026-01-01 -o jsonl
fb page nasa --posts --until 2026-06-01 --since 2026-05-01 -o jsonl

--since stops walking once posts are older than the date; --until skips posts newer than the date.
