🔹 Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable – Key Features

Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable focuses on practical metadata extraction rather than downloading or analyzing the full video itself.

The actor converts supported Facebook content into structured records so you can work with the information programmatically or review it directly in Apify.

🎬 Public Facebook Reel Metadata

The actor can extract important metadata associated with a Facebook Reel or supported Facebook video URL, including identifying information, publishing information, engagement fields, creator details, and media-related information.

📊 Engagement Information

Depending on what Facebook makes available for the requested content, the returned record can include view, like, comment, and repost counts.

The actor also provides formatted versions of large counts, making values easier to read in datasets and reports.

👤 Uploader and Channel Information

Records can include uploader names, uploader identifiers, uploader URLs, channel identifiers, and channel URLs when those values are available.

This makes the output useful for organizing Facebook content by creator or source.

🖼️ Optional Format Information

The All Formats setting controls whether format-related information is included.

When enabled, the output can contain available formats, thumbnails, thumbnail collections, and additional source information returned with the extracted record.

⚙️ Important

• All Formats = false: format-related fields are omitted from the output
• All Formats = true: format, thumbnail, and additional format-related information can be included
• The actor is intended for metadata extraction, not as a guarantee that every possible Facebook media format will always be available

🔹 Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable – What Data You Can Extract

A major advantage of Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable is its structured output. Instead of returning an unorganized page response, the actor normalizes important metadata into predictable fields.

The exact fields present can vary depending on the information available for a particular Facebook URL. Fields that are unavailable are removed from the final record rather than being returned as empty values.

Field	Description
platform	Identifies the platform as Facebook
content_type	Indicates whether the extracted item is classified as a reel or video
is_reel	Boolean classification showing whether the item is identified as a Reel
webpage_url	URL associated with the extracted content
id	Content identifier when available
title	Facebook content title when available
description	Description associated with the content
duration_seconds	Duration in seconds
duration	Human-readable duration such as 1m 25s
upload_date_raw	Original date value when available
upload_date	Formatted upload date
timestamp	Source timestamp when available
timestamp_iso	ISO-formatted timestamp
view_count_raw	Original view count value
view_count	Human-readable view count such as 12.5K
like_count	Formatted like count
comment_count	Formatted comment count
repost_count	Repost count when available
uploader	Uploader or creator name
uploader_id	Uploader identifier
uploader_url	Uploader profile URL
channel_id	Channel identifier when available
channel_url	Channel URL when available
extractor	Extractor information returned for the content

language	Detected or supplied language value
is_live	Indicates live status when available
formats	Available media formats when enabled
thumbnail	Main thumbnail when available and enabled
thumbnails	Thumbnail collection when available and enabled
raw_json	Additional extracted source information when All Formats is enabled

The actor also creates a structured fallback record when an input cannot be extracted successfully. This makes it easier to identify failed URLs instead of silently losing them.

📦 Output / Data Fields

The output is designed for structured processing and may contain:

• Facebook content identification
• Reel/video classification
• Title and description
• Duration and publishing information
• View, like, comment, and repost counts

🔹 Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable – How to Use It

Using Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable requires only a small amount of setup.

1. Add Facebook URLs

Open the actor input and add one or more supported Facebook content URLs under Start URLs.

The configured input accepts a list of URLs, making batch processing possible in a single run.

2. Choose All Formats

Use the All Formats checkbox according to the type of output you need.

Keep it disabled when you only need metadata. Enable it when you also want available format and thumbnail-related information.

3. Start the Actor

Run the actor from Apify. Each supplied URL is processed and returned as a structured output item when data is available.

4. Review the Output

After the run, inspect the resulting dataset and other Apify outputs to review the extracted Facebook metadata.

📝 Input

Required field

• startUrls — List of one or more Facebook URLs to process.

Optional field

• allFormats — Boolean option controlling whether format-related information is included. Default: false.

🔹 How to Extract Facebook Reels Details from Multiple URLs

One practical use of Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable is batch metadata collection.

Instead of creating a separate actor run for every Reel, you can place multiple Facebook URLs into Start URLs and process them together. Each URL is handled individually, allowing you to build a larger structured dataset from multiple Facebook posts or Reels.

This can be useful for content libraries, creator research, media databases, monitoring projects, and repeated collection workflows.

For example, your input can contain several Facebook Reel URLs:

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/785977587505597"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/1394880385139005"
    }
  ],
  "allFormats": false
}

This configuration requests normal metadata without the additional format-related fields.

🔹 Can You Extract Facebook Reel Format and Thumbnail Data?

Yes. The All Formats input can be enabled when you need additional media information alongside the standard Facebook Reel metadata.

When enabled, the result can include:

• formats
• thumbnail
• thumbnails
• raw_json

These fields are useful when your workflow needs more detailed media information rather than only creator, engagement, and publishing metadata.

Keep in mind that the availability and completeness of format information depend on what can be obtained for the individual Facebook URL.

🎯 Why Use This Actor

• Simple URL-based input
• Batch processing for multiple Facebook URLs
• Structured metadata instead of unorganized page information
• Optional media-format information
• Useful creator and engagement fields
• Explicit failure records for unsuccessful extractions
• Suitable for research, cataloging, analytics, and automation workflows

🔹 What Happens When a Facebook URL Cannot Be Extracted?

A useful behavior of the actor is that unsuccessful inputs can still produce a structured result.

Instead of simply removing a failed URL from the final dataset, the output can indicate that extraction was unsuccessful and include an error description together with the original URL and processing timestamp.

Example:

{
  "platform": "facebook",
  "webpage_url": "https://www.facebook.com/example",
  "input_url": "https://www.facebook.com/example",
  "scrape_success": false,
  "error": "No data extracted",
  "timestamp_iso": "2026-10-07T00:00:00Z"
}

This makes batch processing easier because your workflow can distinguish successful records from failed requests.

🔹 Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable – Output Example

A successful metadata result can look similar to the following structure:

{
  "platform": "facebook",
  "content_type": "reel",
  "is_reel": true,
  "webpage_url": "https://www.facebook.com/reel/785977587505597",
  "id": "785977587505597",
  "title": "Example Facebook Reel",
  "description": "Example description",
  "duration_seconds": 85,
  "duration": "1m 25s",
  "upload_date": "07-10-2026",
  "timestamp_iso": "2026-10-07T00:00:00Z",
  "view_count": "12.5K",
  "like_count": "950",
  "comment_count": "84",
  "repost_count": 18,
  "uploader": "Example Creator",
  "uploader_id": "123456789",
  "uploader_url": "https://www.facebook.com/example",
  "tags": ["example", "facebook"],
  "language": "en",
  "is_live": false
}

The exact values and available fields depend on the Facebook content and the information returned for the specific URL.

🔹 Can This Actor Extract Regular Facebook Videos Too?

The actor is primarily positioned for Facebook Reels, but its output classification supports both reel and video content.

The is_reel field indicates whether the returned item is identified as a Reel, while content_type distinguishes between reel and video.

This is useful when a Facebook URL does not resolve exactly as expected, because the result still communicates what type of content was returned.

For Reel-focused projects, always review is_reel before assuming every returned item is a Reel.

🔹 Input and Supported Options

The public input configuration is intentionally simple.

Input	Type	Required	Default	Purpose
startUrls	Array	Yes	—	Facebook URLs to extract
allFormats	Boolean	No	false	Include available format-related data

The Start URLs field accepts one or more Facebook URLs.

The All Formats checkbox lets you control the size and detail level of the returned records based on your project requirements.

🔹 Pricing

No actor-specific price information is provided in the supplied actor configuration, so this README does not claim a specific price or per-result cost.

For the current cost of using Facebook Reels Details Scraper Best and Affordable, check the actor's pricing information directly in the Apify Store before starting a run.

💰 Pricing Note

• No unsupported pricing figure is listed here.
• Actual usage cost should be verified on the actor's current Apify Store page.
• Your final cost can depend on how you use the actor and the amount of data processed.

🔹 Tips and Best Practices

For more reliable and useful Facebook metadata collection, consider the following practices:

• Use valid public Facebook Reel or video URLs.
• Add multiple URLs to startUrls when processing batches.
• Keep allFormats disabled when you only need standard metadata.
• Enable allFormats when thumbnails and additional format information are important.
• Use is_reel and content_type to verify what type of Facebook content was actually returned.
• Check scrape_success on error records before including them in analytics.
• Preserve the original webpage_url so collected records remain traceable to their source.
• Treat engagement counts as content-dependent because not every Facebook item exposes every metric.
