Incorrect ViewsCount data

Closed

Hi, I've noticed that Facebook Posts Scraper provides data about Views (viewsCount) that doesn't actually match the Views displayed on the profile. On Facebook profiles, 1 second view is displayed, while the scraper provides data for 3-second views. Would it be possible to add to the scraper the ability to download the first second as well, so that the data is verifiable with what we see on the profiles?

The only alternative data source for the counter is https://apify.com/apify/facebook-reels-scraper Data breakdown:

  1. From posts actor https://console.apify.com/view/runs/u5m9HD8Zt3XygCUlY sample https://www.facebook.com/reel/3809524072644232/ return viewsCount: 34003
  2. From reels actor https://console.apify.com/view/runs/9KIJK1wRWWabNYfOZ sample https://facebook.com/reel/3809524072644232 return playCountRounded: 90000

Please confirm If it's the counters you are talking about.

Thank you very much for your response, this solves our problem with Reels. However, a similar situation occurs with classic videos (not Reels). Where the aforementioned scraper does not return view data that is visible on the Facebook platform.

Here is an example of such a video: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1013893803910099

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hi!

For videos so far no solution found, Facebook is very picky about counters, and some are hidden from the public.

I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
