If I have the url of the group ex https://www.facebook.com/groups/angularjs.dev/ How to I get the group Id of it.

If I have a facebook page(https://www.facebook.com/raspberrypi/) I'm able to get the ID from https://graph.facebook.com/v2.8/https://www.facebook.com/raspberrypi/.

But this is not working for facebook Groups.

Not possible. You can not look up groups by their name. – CBroe Mar 29 '17 at 07:39
This website [findmyfbid](http://findmyfbid.com/) is giving me the Id from the url `https://www.facebook.com/groups/angularjs.dev`.. So there must be a way right? – Murali Krishna Mar 29 '17 at 09:10
Only by scraping Facebook pages - which is not allowed without their explicit prior written consent. – CBroe Mar 29 '17 at 09:13
Any thoughts on what could be the reason for not giving groups when they are giving for pages. – Murali Krishna Mar 29 '17 at 09:24
Did you find the solution for this problem? – thangdc94 Jul 06 '19 at 20:33
