# Features and Capabilities

The Facebook Connector retrieves data from Facebook.

The connector can retrieve information related to a specific user, a specific page, or by performing a search and retrieving information from the results.

When you configure the connector to retrieve information from a user, the connector can retrieve:

- User profile information, with the user's profile image as the document content.
- Account information for accounts linked to the configured user.
- Metadata from Albums created by the configured user.
- Metadata from App Requests linked to the configured user.
- User profile information for friends of the configured user that have the same OAuth application installed.
- Metadata from Pages that the configured user 'likes'.
- Photos uploaded by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. The connector retrieves metadata and uses the image as the document content.
- Metadata from Videos uploaded by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged.
- Video thumbnails uploaded by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. The connector retrieves metadata and uses the image as the document content.
- Posts created by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. The connector creates a metadata-only document for each post.
- Attachments to posts created by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. The connector retrieves the metadata and uses the attachment as the document content (if the attachment is available).
- Comments on items created by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. Comments are ingested as metadata-only documents.
- Likes and reactions on items created by the configured user, or where the user has been tagged. This information is embedded in the metadata of relevant documents.

When you configure the connector to retrieve information from a page, the connector can retrieve:

- Page profile information, as a metadata-only document.
- Metadata from Albums created by the configured page.
- Metadata from Pages that the configured page 'likes'.
- Photos uploaded by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged. The connector retrieves metadata and uses the image as the document content.
- Metadata from Videos uploaded by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged.
- Video thumbnails uploaded by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged. The connector retrieves metadata and uses the image as the document content.
- Posts created by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged. Posts are ingested as metadata-only documents.
- Attachments to posts created by the configured page, or to posts where the page has been tagged. The connector retrieves the metadata and uses the attachment as the document content (if the attachment is available).
- Comments on items created by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged. Comments are ingested as metadata-only documents.
- Likes and reactions on items created by the configured page, or where the page has been tagged. This information is embedded in the metadata of relevant documents.

When you configure the connector to retrieve information by performing a search, the connector can retrieve page or place profile information from each search result and ingests a metadata-only document for each result.
