# fb:app\_id

Associates the page with a Facebook app. Meta requires it when you want Facebook Insights for traffic from shared pages.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="1234567890">
```

A numeric Facebook app ID from the app dashboard.

Avoid this example

```
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="yourappidhere">
```

A placeholder does not identify a Facebook app.

## Recommendations

- 01 Use Your App ID Copy the numeric ID from the Meta app dashboard. Do not use an app secret or access token.
- 02 The ID Is Public This property appears in page source by design. Keep the app secret private, but the app ID is not a secret.
- 03 Test Before Deployment Use Meta’s Sharing Debugger to see the properties its crawler reads from the page.
