Facebook profile reels

Beta GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels

GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels

Up to 10 reels a page: id, URL, view count (Facebook's rounded public badge, so 27K becomes 27000), description, time, video URL, duration and music. For exact counts, call post per reel.

  • Cost: 1 credit
  • Status: Beta. Built and tested against recorded responses; the shape may still gain fields.
  • Cache: Results are kept up to 30 days; send max_age_days to reuse them for free.
  • Timeout: A request still running after about 25 seconds answers 202 with a job to poll (Batch and jobs).

Parameters#

Every request also accepts:

  • cursor: the cursor from the previous page (Pagination).
  • trim: true for a smaller response without null fields and extra.
  • raw: true to also get the platform's original object as raw.
  • max_age_days: accept a cached result up to this many days old, for 0 credits (Caching).
