Note: FbUID only works with Public Facebook Accounts.
As a developer, security researcher, bug bounty hunter, etc we often need the Facebook UserID of a user. For ex: userID for username: spongebhav is: 100007536576842.
However, getting Facebook userID for a user can sometimes be time-consuming and a boring task.
To fix this problem, I present you guys with this tool: FbUID.
This tool is written completely in bash and can be used to extract userID for a public Facebook profiles if the username is known. You can specify a username or a text file containing a list of usernames to extract the userIDs from.
