Facebook Tools Suite

A small Python command-line tool that can download public Facebook videos, find a profile numeric ID, and print video details.

What it does

• Download a Facebook video to your local Videos folder (uses yt-dlp)
• Find a user's numeric Facebook ID from a username or profile URL
• Display video details for a Facebook video URL (uses yt-dlp JSON output)

How it works

• Menu-based CLI with three options.
• Download: runs yt-dlp via subprocess and saves to ~/Videos.
• ID lookup: fetches the profile page and extracts userID with a regex.
• Video details: runs yt-dlp --dump-json and prints selected fields.

How to use

1. Install Python 3
2. Install dependencies: pip install yt-dlp requests pyfiglet colorama
3. Run: python fb_tools.py
4. Pick an option (1 to 3) and follow the prompts.

Where you can use it

Run it locally on Windows, macOS, or Linux in a terminal.
