Facebook reels Downloader Audio or Video - Separate

Extract Facebook Reels metadata, optimized for stability and fastest possible extraction.

---

What this Actor does

This actor accepts an array of Facebook Reels URLs, analyzes each with a media metadata extractor to discover available formats, selects the best video and audio streams, and pushes a structured record into the default dataset. No media files are downloaded by default; it only extracts metadata and direct stream URLs.

---

Features (Facebook reels Downloader)

• ✅ Extracts metadata (title, duration, description, thumbnail) from Facebook Reels.
• ✅ Selects best candidate video-only and audio-only streams when available.
• ✅ Falls back to combined streams if separate audio/video streams are not found.
• ✅ Pushes one structured JSON row per input URL into the default Apify dataset.
• ✅ Accepts both { "url": "..." } objects and raw string arrays as input.
• ✅ Safe error handling: failed extractions produce an item with an error field instead of crashing.

---

Configuration / Environment

The actor reads its configuration from the Apify input (JSON). You can also pass inputs via environment variables in local runs.

Input field summary (mini-table):

• startUrls — array — required — default: none (schema prefill shown)

• items: object with url string, or string directly.

• one-line description: List of Facebook Reels to extract.

---

Facebook reels Downloader Outputs

The actor pushes one JSON record per processed input to the default dataset using the platform push_data mechanism. It does not store credentials in outputs.

Dataset record structure (fields → type → description)

• url → string → The original input URL (redact any sensitive tokens in consumer-facing usage).
• title → string | → Media title extracted from metadata.
• duration → number | → Duration in seconds.
• description → string | → Text description for the reel.
• thumbnail_url → string | → URL to the thumbnail image.
• video_download_url → string | → Direct URL to the selected video stream (may be the same as audio_download_url when only combined streams exist).
• audio_download_url → string | → Direct URL to the selected audio stream.
• _best_video_format → object | → Short info about the chosen video format:

• The actor logs:

  • start/stop lifecycle messages,
  • per-URL processing steps, and
  • extraction errors (per-item error field is also pushed to dataset).

---

Facebook reels Downloader -- Troubleshooting

1. No startUrls provided — Ensure your INPUT.json contains startUrls (array of strings or objects with url).
2. Extraction fails for a specific URL — The actor will push an object containing an error field for that URL; inspect the dataset row for the error message.
3. Dependency / import errors — Confirm required Python dependencies are installed and that you run the script with the correct Python interpreter. Use pip install -r requirements.txt and re-run.

---

Facebook reels Downloader -- Limitations

• The actor extracts metadata and direct stream URLs only; it does not download or merge media streams.
• Selection of “best” formats is heuristic (based on resolution / bitrate / filesize); results may vary depending on available remote formats.
• No explicit CPU/memory hints are provided in input; large batches may require increased resource limits when running at scale.
