Facebook Video Search Scraper: Reels, No Login

Facebook Video Search Scraper: Reels, No Login

Facebook video search scraper for public videos and reels, with no login, no cookies and no Facebook account: give keywords, phrases, #hashtags or a pasted Facebook video search link and get the videos Facebook's own video search finds for each of them, in its Top order or with its Most recent filter, inside a date window and at a tagged place if you like. Every row carries the video's link, reel or video, its caption (and a compact result its title), author, date, views, duration, thumbnail, the query that found it, its rank and whether its text really holds your words; full results add the exact time, reactions by type, comment and share counts, size, video files, music and Facebook's captions. Pay per video, from $1.42 per 1,000.

Built for content and trend research, creative and competitor monitoring, influencer and creator discovery, brand mentions in video, newsrooms and fact checkers, academic studies and AI data sets, and for scheduled runs in n8n, Make or Zapier. Rows carry what Facebook shows a visitor who is not logged in; use them under the rules that apply to you.

At a glance

• Facebook's own video search (the same results the Videos tab of facebook.com/watch shows), read logged out from Apify's datacenter proxy: no account to lose, no cookies to keep fresh.
• Two kinds of result, both delivered: a full result (the whole video post: exact time, exact views, reactions by type, comments, shares, size, HD and SD files, music, captions) and a compact result (Facebook's video card: title, owner, day, views as Facebook shows them, duration, thumbnail). detailLevel says which.
• Video details (add-on): each delivered video's own page, for its exact play and view counts, reactions, comments, exact time, text, files and captions link, so a compact result gets the exact figures its card leaves out (shares aside: a video's own page shows none).
• Deep search: when Facebook's plain search ends (often near 90 to 100 videos a query), month by month windows go further back.
• Filters judged on every row, never guessed: date window, reels or videos, minimum views, reactions, comments and shares, the strict query match, words to keep or leave out. A row Facebook shows only as a day or a cut view figure is judged on every value it can mean; a row that cannot be judged is left out free (and counted) unless Video details reads its exact figure.
• Free transcripts (Facebook's own captions), free author details (a page's followers, category and rating), resume tokens, compact rows for AI agents and sheets.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor and type your keywords in Search queries (one per line), for example pizza recipe.
2. Set Videos per query (the form starts at 10).
3. Optional: a date window (Posted on or after, for example 30 days), Order set to Facebook's Most recent filter, a tagged place, Video types (reels only), minimum views or counts, Video details, Transcripts, Author details.
4. Click Start. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

Compact results: title, text, day, views as shown, duration and thumbnail 100 percent. With Video details: exact time, views, plays, reactions, comments and files 100 percent, shares 73 (the full results among them; a video's own page shows none), captions 34).

Coverage, status and summary rows (free)

• coverage (one per search): the pages read, videos read (fullResults, cards), delivered and charged, repeats, videos another search delivered, videos past the cap, every filter's count (filtered: window, type, views, counts, query, keywords, undecided), the month windows walked, stopReason and whether the search is complete.
• status: a value not used (values_skipped, positions only), a place that names no single place (location_not_found, with Facebook's suggestions), an add-on that could not be read in the run (addon_unavailable), a place lookup or a search query Facebook did not answer (lookup_failed), a place name of a resume token that now names another place (place_changed), invalid input (invalid), searches not started (skipped).
• summary (the last row): the run's counters, its requests, the work allowance, its charges and, when a search stopped before its end, a resumeToken.

How fast and how deep

Measured on the real actor (build 0.1.5, 256 MB, datacenter proxy, one lane), 2026-10-23 UTC: the prefill (10 videos) in 8 seconds; 1,000 videos of one query in 640 seconds (about 95 a minute; 453 seconds in an earlier run); 150 videos with the month windows in 63 seconds; 100 videos with Video details in 371 seconds (100 of 100 read); 20 queries of 3 videos in 81 seconds. Facebook's plain search ends near 90 to 100 videos a query; deep search goes on month by month (1,000 videos for "nike" in one run). Several queries go faster with maxConcurrency (3 lanes: 30 videos in 15 seconds).

How much does it cost to scrape Facebook videos?

Pay per event: you pay for the videos delivered (and Video details when you turn it on), never for a repeat, a video a filter leaves out, a failed call, a place name that names no place or an input that cannot be used.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Video (video), per 1,000 videos	$1.99	$1.82	$1.65	$1.42
Video details (video_details), per 1,000 videos, add-on	$1.32	$1.20	$1.09	$0.94
Actor start (apify-actor-start), once per run	$0.0075	$0.0075	$0.0075	$0.0075

Platinum and Diamond plans pay the Gold price. There is no discount on the Actor start event. The Store pricing card shows these same prices per 1,000 events: "$1.99 / 1,000" on the Video row means one video costs about a fifth of a cent on the Free plan ($0.00199), and "$1.42 / 1,000" means one video costs about a seventh of a cent on the Gold plan ($0.00142).

• Video is charged once per video per run: a video that two of your queries find is delivered and charged once. Videos left out by the date window, the video type, a minimum, the query match or your words are not charged and get no row.
• Video details is charged only with Video details on, and only when the video's own page gave its figures; a video that is gone, or whose page shows no figures, is delivered without it and not charged for it.
• Transcripts and Author details cost nothing extra.

Worked examples, start fee included:

Run	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
The prefill: 10 videos of one query	$0.0274	$0.0257	$0.0240	$0.0217
1,000 videos	$1.9975	$1.8275	$1.6575	$1.4275
1,000 videos with Video details	$3.3175	$3.0275	$2.7475	$2.3675
A daily scheduled run of 20 queries x 20 videos (400 videos a run)	$0.8035 a day	$0.7355 a day	$0.6675 a day	$0.5755 a day
The same daily run for 30 days	$24.105	$22.065	$20.025	$17.265

Every run reads its searches fresh: a video a scheduled run delivered yesterday is delivered and charged again today when the search finds it again. Narrow a daily run with Posted on or after (for example 2 days) to keep repeats down, and dedupe on videoId in your own sheet or workflow.

The work allowance

Work that earns nothing (searches whose videos every filter leaves out, refused calls, long stretches of repeats) is bounded by an allowance in real cost that grows with every event the run bills. When it is spent the run stops: the search it was reading ends with work_allowance in its coverage row, the searches not started get one free skipped row, and every row already delivered is kept. Video details reads from a small allowance of its own that its own events refill, so watch pages that fail never stop the search they serve; the part of each delivered video's own allowance its search did not need is added to it, so one slow page does not switch it off; a video it has no room for at that moment is delivered without it (detailsStatus not_read, one free addon_unavailable row a run), the next videos are read again as deliveries refill it, and videos it could not judge stay open for a resume token.

Input

Field	What it does	Default
searchQueries	Up to 100 queries, one per line: a keyword or phrase, a #hashtag, or a Facebook video search link (facebook.com/watch/search/?q=pasta or facebook.com/search/videos/?q=pasta; its most recent, date and location filters are read too). A query in double quotes must stand as that exact phrase for the query match. A value written as a link that is not a Facebook video search link (a post search, a single video, another site, mailto:, tel:) is skipped free and named in a values_skipped row, never searched as words. Also read: query, queries, searchTerms, searchTerm, and startUrls (links as { "url": ... } objects or text).	none (the form starts with pizza recipe)
sortBy	top (Facebook's relevance ranking) or recent (Facebook's own Most recent filter: it favours recent videos but keeps Facebook's order, not a strict newest first; add a start date for a hard limit). Also read: recentVideos, recent_videos, recentPosts (true is recent).	top, or the order a pasted link names
maxVideosPerQuery	The most videos delivered per query (and per location), 1 to 5,000. Also read: resultsCount, maxResults, resultsLimit.	20 (the form starts at 10)
maxVideos	A cap of video rows for the whole run, across queries. Also read: maxItems.	no cap
startDate, endDate	The date window, UTC, on or after 2004-01-01: YYYY-MM-DD, today, yesterday, or a time back such as 7 days, 3 weeks, 2 months, 1 year. Sent as Facebook's date filter and checked on every video (below). Also read: postedAfter, dateFrom, start_date, postedBefore, dateTo, end_date.	no window (the end is today)
locations	Up to 20 places, one per line: a Facebook location id (108424279189115 is New York, New York) or a place's full name as Facebook writes it (London, United Kingdom). Sent as Facebook's own location filter; each query is searched once per location, at most 300 searches a run. Also read: location, locationUid, locationId, location_uid.	none
deepSearch	When a query's results end before its video number, go on month by month backwards (back to the start date, or 24 months), each month a new search; a deep walk ends after 3 months in a row that bring no new video.	on
videoTypes	reel, video or both. Also read: videoType, and onlyReels (only_reels) true means reels only.	both
minViews	Only videos with at least this many views.	none
minReactions, minComments, minShares	Only videos with at least this many. Compact results carry none of these counts: they are left out unless Video details reads them (shares never: a video's own page shows none).	none
mustContainQuery	Keep only videos whose title, text or link title holds every word of the query as a whole word (case and accents aside).	off
includeKeywords, excludeKeywords	Up to 50 words or phrases to keep (any of them) and to leave out (any of them), as whole words, case aside. Also read: keywordFilter.	none
maxPagesPerQuery	The most result pages read per search (about 7 videos a page), 1 to 1,000.	no page limit
includeVideoDetails	Read each delivered video's own page for its exact figures (the Video details event). Also read: enrichDetailPage.	off
includeTranscript	Add the text of Facebook's own captions (free).	off
includeAuthorDetails	Add a page author's followers, category, verified mark and rating (free). Also read: includeAuthorFollowers.	off
outputFormat	full or compact (one level rows). Also read: compact (true or false).	full
includePersonalData	The personal data switch (below).	off
maxConcurrency	How many searches are read at the same time, 1 to 5, each on its own exit. Prices do not change.	1
requestDelayMs	The pause between two calls of one search, 300 to 10,000 ms.	400
maxRunSeconds	Stop starting new work after this many seconds (60 to 86,400) and end with the coverage rows and the summary.	the run's own timeout
proxyConfiguration	Apify Proxy: the datacenter pool (default), the RESIDENTIAL group with a two letter country, your own proxies (http(s)://user:password@host:port links; never shown in logs or rows), or no proxy (the run's own address). Also read: proxy.	Apify datacenter pool
resumeToken	The resumeToken of an earlier run's summary row, to go on with its searches where they stopped (below).	none

How dates, views and counts are judged

Facebook shows a compact result's date as a day ("Oct 1", "Dec 5, 2025") or an age ("14 hours ago", "Yesterday"), and its views cut to what it shows ("285K views" means 285,000 to 285,999). The Actor judges such a row on every value it can mean: a day counts in every time zone (UTC+14 to UTC-12), so a compact result dated on the first or last day of your window is "in doubt"; "285K views" passes a minimum of 280,000, fails 290,000 and is in doubt at 285,500. A row in doubt, or one without a count a minimum needs, is left out free and counted (filtered.undecided in the coverage row, videosUndecided in the summary). With Video details on, its page is read and the row is judged again on its exact figures; every row is judged once more as it will be delivered, after its page.

Resume tokens

When a search of a run stops before Facebook's end (its video number, its page limit, the charge limit, the run deadline, a refusal, or videos left in doubt because Video details could not read them), the run's summary row carries a resumeToken. Run the same searches again, given the same way (the same words, order, date window, and the same place ids or place names), with that token in resumeToken: each search starts where it stopped, a search that run read to its end is not read again, and each search skips, free, the videos IT delivered in that run. A token with a search that is not in the input refuses the run with one free row; a relative window (7 days) names other dates on another day, so resume with the dates of the first run. Nothing is stored on Apify between runs; with personal data off a token holds no person's id.

{ "searchQueries": ["pizza recipe"], "maxVideosPerQuery": 100, "resumeToken": "fbr1.eyJ2..." }

Apify checks each setting of the table above against its type before the run starts: a text where a number, a switch or a list is expected ("30", "true") is refused by the API with nothing charged. The keys of other tools named under "Also read" also take those values as text ("resultsLimit": "30", "recent_videos": "true", "location_uid": "108424279189115"). A value sent as null or "" counts as left out. Two keys of one meaning sent together, a setting name the Actor does not know, or a value it cannot use as given refuse the input with one free invalid row (only the start fee is charged).

Examples:

{ "searchQueries": ["pizza recipe", "#homemadepizza"], "maxVideosPerQuery": 50 }

{
  "searchQueries": ["electric scooter review"],
  "startDate": "30 days",
  "videoTypes": ["reel"],
  "minViews": 10000,
  "includeVideoDetails": true,
  "mustContainQuery": true
}

{
  "searchQueries": ["pizza"],
  "locations": ["New York, New York"],
  "maxVideosPerQuery": 100,
  "includeTranscript": true,
  "includeAuthorDetails": true
}

Personal data

Off by default. Rows then carry the names of video authors as Facebook shows them (they are part of the content) and each video's own link, and leave empty the fields that name or reach a private person: a person author's id, profile link and picture (authorId, authorUrl, authorProfilePictureUrl), a person author's storyId, and the ids and links of people tagged or mentioned. A person's video link that holds the person's profile name (facebook.com/<name>/videos/<id>) is given as facebook.com/reel/<id>/ or facebook.com/watch/?v=<id>, which open the same video without a login. A compact result never says whether its owner is a page or a person, so its owner's id and link are empty too, unless Author details finds the owner is a page (a page's id and link are business data and are always delivered). Texts are never masked. With Include personal data (includePersonalData: true) those fields are filled; you are responsible for a lawful use of personal data (GDPR included).

What this Actor does NOT do

• Logged in data and cookies: it reads what a visitor who is not logged in sees; no account, no cookies, nothing private.
• Other search types: it searches videos and reels only, never posts, pages, people, groups or events.
• A video by its link, or the videos of one page: use the Facebook Post Scraper (posts, videos and reels by link) or the Facebook Posts Scraper (a page's posts, its videos and reels among them).
• Live videos search: Facebook's live filter answers no results to a visitor who is not logged in.
• Comments of a video: use the Facebook Comments Scraper with the video's link.
• Speech to text: transcripts are Facebook's own captions; a video without captions has no transcript.
• The video files themselves: rows carry the file links (Facebook's links stop working about 4 days after the read (their own expiry time, measured 1.3 to 4.5 days)); the files are not stored.
• Whether comments are turned off, collaborators, paid partnership labels: Facebook's answers to a visitor who is not logged in do not carry them (they mark every video as closed to that visitor's comments, so comments turned off cannot be told apart).
• A memory of earlier runs: each run reads its searches fresh; use a date window or a resume token for scheduled runs.

API examples

Run and get the rows (replace <APIFY_TOKEN>):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/automation_craft~facebook-video-search-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQueries": ["pizza recipe"], "maxVideosPerQuery": 20}'

Node.js:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';
const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('automation_craft/facebook-video-search-scraper').call({ searchQueries: ['pizza recipe'], maxVideosPerQuery: 20, includeVideoDetails: true });
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.filter((x) => x.type === 'video'));

Python:

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("automation_craft/facebook-video-search-scraper").call(run_input={"searchQueries": ["pizza recipe"], "maxVideosPerQuery": 20})
videos = [x for x in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items() if x["type"] == "video"]

Send the rows where you need them with Apify's own integrations: a webhook on the run's end, or the Make, Zapier and n8n Apify modules.

FAQ

Can I search Facebook videos by keyword without logging in?

Yes. The Actor reads Facebook's own video search the way a visitor who is not logged in sees it, through Apify's datacenter proxy: no account, no cookies. It returns public videos and reels only.

Can I download the Facebook videos a search finds?

Each full result (and each video read with Video details) carries videoFileUrl (HD where Facebook offers it) and videoFileUrlSd, the files Facebook's own player plays. Download them soon: Facebook's links stop working about 4 days after the read (their own expiry time, measured 1.3 to 4.5 days).

Does it get the view count of Facebook reels and videos?

Yes. Full results carry the exact viewCount; compact results carry Facebook's views as shown ("285K views") with the range they mean. With Video details on, every video gets its exact views and plays (playCount) from its own page.

Can I filter Facebook videos by date?

Yes: set Posted on or after and Posted on or before (or a time back such as 30 days). The window goes to Facebook as its own date filter and is checked again on every row, because Facebook's filter lets other dates through; a compact result that shows only a day is judged on that whole day.

Can I get the transcript of a Facebook video?

Yes, where the video has Facebook's own captions: turn on Transcripts (free) and each row gets transcript, its timed transcriptCues and transcriptStatus. A compact result carries its captions link only once Video details read its page; there is no speech to text, so a video without captions says no_captions.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It needs nothing beyond its own run storage, so it runs with Apify's limited permissions (least privilege): it can read and write only the dataset and key-value store of its own run, and nothing else in your account.
