Facebook Videos Scraper: Page Videos, Views

Facebook Videos Scraper: Page Videos, Views

Facebook videos scraper for the Videos tab of public Facebook pages and profiles, with no login, no cookies and no Facebook account: give page links, usernames or numeric ids (or a link to a text file or Google Sheet of them) and get every video and reel the page posted, newest first, one row per video, with Facebook's exact play count, the post's own plays, reactions by type, comments, shares, title, text, publish time, length, size, the SD and HD video files and captions. One row per page adds its followers and about line. Pay per video, from $4.22 per 1,000.

Built for social media and brand teams tracking competitors' video performance, agencies reporting on client pages, media monitoring, researchers and archivists building video data sets, and 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

• The whole Videos tab of a page, newest first, to the number you set (up to 100,000 a page) or to Facebook's own end of the list. Reels are part of the list; with details (the default) each row says whether it is a reel or a video.
• Exact plays: playCount is Facebook's exact play count (not "353K"), postPlayCount the plays of this post alone, playCountLabel the count as Facebook shows it.
• Details on every video at the video price (on by default): reel or video, comment count, share count, the HD video file, Facebook's captions, the music of a reel. Turn them off for faster list only rows.
• Pages in every form: links (/natgeo, /natgeo/videos/, profile.php?id=, /people/Name/id/), usernames, @handles, numeric profile ids and a page's numeric (delegate) id, up to 500 a run. The same page given twice is read once.
• Filters: a publish date window, minimum and maximum plays, minimum and maximum length, minimum reactions, words to keep or leave out, reels only or videos only, only videos with captions. Videos a filter leaves out are free.
• Transcripts (free option): Facebook's own captions file of each video as text and timed cues.
• Comments (add-on): each delivered video's comments and replies as rows, oldest first, newest first or most relevant.
• Page details (free option): category, address, phone, e-mail, websites, hours, price range, rating, and from the Meta Ad Library whether the Page runs ads now.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor and type one or more pages in Facebook pages or profiles, one per line, for example https://www.facebook.com/natgeo or just natgeo.
2. Set Videos per page (the form starts at 10; empty means 50; 100000 reads a page's whole Videos tab).
3. Optional: a date window (Published on or after, Published on or before), Minimum plays, Reels or videos, words in Text contains.
4. Optional: the Comments (add-on), Transcripts or Page details. Video details is on by default.
5. Click Start. Download the rows as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read them through the API.

An input with no value at all returns a free sample: the newest 3 videos of facebook.com/natgeo, with only the start fee charged.

What you get

Every run writes rows of six types to its dataset: video, page, comment (the add-on), and the free coverage, status and summary rows. The type field says which.

Video rows

"With details" means Video details on (the default): each video's reel page is read, or, for a video of a post with several videos, the video's own page (that page shows no share count). The measured fill is over 1,547 rows (1,520 distinct videos) of 9 pages of different kinds (a media brand, a space agency, a public figure's profile, news outlets, a creator, an artist, a football club, a small bakery) read from the Videos tab list on 2026-10-24; the details fields are not on the list and come from the details read.

type	video	always	always	100 percent
videoId	Facebook's numeric video id (a string)	always	always	100 percent
url	the video's link: facebook.com/<page>/videos/<id>/ for a Page (or a person's profile with personal data on), else facebook.com/watch/?v=<id>	always	always	100 percent

playsPerHour	plays over the hours since publishing	yes	yes	derived
reactionCount, reactionCountIsExact, reactionsByType	the post's reactions and their split by type (like, love, care, haha, wow, sad, angry). Facebook's list gives most totals exactly, but sometimes gives a total of 10,000 or more as 10,000: that row says reactionCountIsExact: false (a floor: at least that many) and carries no split; with Video details on, the video's page gives the exact total (46 and 21 of 1,000 natgeo videos in two runs, 2026-10-24 and 2026-10-25), or, where it too shows only a floor, the larger of 10,000 and Facebook's cut label ("12K" is 12000), still marked not exact	the types the list shows; 10,000 is a floor	the exact total, or a floor	99.9 percent
commentCount	the post's comment count	null	yes	details only
shareCount, shareCountIsExact	the post's share count: exact under 1,000, Facebook's label above ("1.8K" is 1800)	null	from the reel page	details only

position, pageInput, subjectKey, scrapedAt	the video's place in the page's list (1 is the newest), the input value's position, the page's key in the run, and the time of the read	always	always	100 percent

Measured fill on 89 videos (86 reels, 3 videos) of 6 pages (National Geographic, NASA, CNN, BBC News, MrBeast Gaming, Mark Zuckerberg) read with Video details on in the test runs of 2026-10-24 (UTC): play count, the post's own plays, reactions by type, comments, the HD file and the post id 100 percent; text 96.6 percent; shares 96.6 percent (81 exact, the rest Facebook's rounded label; a video read from its own page has none); a title of its own 21.3 percent (savedTitle 100 percent); a reel's music 14.6 percent; captions listed 10.1 percent and a captions file 5.6 percent. Most pages post far more reels than classic videos (9 of 9 of the newest on natgeo, CNN, BBC News and TED were reels; 7 of 9 were videos on MrBeast Gaming).

Row format compact keeps 26 fields: type, videoId, url, videoType, title, text, publishedAt, durationSeconds, playCount, postPlayCount, reactionCount, reactionCountIsExact, commentCount, shareCount, engagementRate, thumbnailUrl, videoFileUrl (HD when read, else SD), transcript, postId, detailsStatus, pageName, pageType, pageUrl, pageFollowers, subjectKey, scrapedAt.

Page rows

One per page, after the page's videos: pageName, pageType (page or person), pageId, pageClassicId, pageUsername, pageUrl, pageVerified, pageFollowers, pageTalkingAbout, pageWereHere, pageAbout, pagePlace, pageProfilePictureUrl. With Page details: category, address, phone, email, websites, businessHours, priceRange, rating, recommendPercent, reviewCount, and from the Meta Ad Library isRunningAds, activeAdsCount, adLibraryUrl, pageCreatedAt, pageNameChanges, pageAdminCountries. Page details are read only for a Page that delivered a video in the run; pageDetailsStatus says ok, not_a_page (a person's profile), no_videos, not_read or not_requested.

Comment rows (Comments add-on)

commentId, videoId, postId, itemUrl, parentCommentId, threadCommentId, depth, text, language, createdAt, authorName, authorIsPage, authorId and authorUrl (for a Page, or with personal data on), authorIsItemOwner, authorBadges, reactionCount, reactions, replyCount, attachments, isEdited, mentions, phones and emails (with personal data on), commentUrl, pageName, subjectKey, scrapedAt.

Coverage, status and summary rows (free)

• A coverage row per value of the input: videos read, delivered and charged, the videos each filter left out, the newest and oldest video dates met, list calls, whether Facebook's end of the list was reached, and why the walk ended (stopReason: end_of_videos, end_of_window, max_videos_per_page, no_videos, not_found, not_public, already_read, max_items, charge_limit, work_allowance and others).
• Status rows: a page Facebook does not show, a profile that is not public, values that are not usable (a single video link among them), an add-on or option that could not be read, the sample. All free.
• A summary row last: the run's counters, the events charged, the requests made.

How fast

The form's own input (10 videos of natgeo with their details) ran in 8 to 71 seconds on Apify over 12 runs on 2026-10-24 and 2026-10-25 (10 of them under 20 seconds). Details are read 3 at a time, one extra call per video: 1,000 videos of natgeo took 42 to 44 minutes with their details and 5 minutes without them (two runs each, 256 MB); turn Video details off for the fastest list only rows. Facebook answers slower at some hours.

How much does it cost to scrape Facebook videos?

Pay per event: you pay for what is delivered, never for misses.

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Video, per 1,000 videos	$4.98	$4.98	$4.90	$4.22
Page, per 1,000 pages	$1.55	$1.40	$1.28	$1.10
Comment (add-on), per 1,000 comments	$0.27	$0.24	$0.22	$0.19
Actor start, per run	$0.01	$0.01	$0.01	$0.01

Platinum and Diamond plans pay the Gold price. The Actor start is charged once per run (per GB of memory: this Actor runs at 256 MB, so it pays one) and has no plan discount. The Store pricing card shows these same prices per 1,000 events: "$4.22 / 1,000" on the Video row means one video costs 0.422 cents at Gold (0.498 cents on the Free plan).

• Video: one video row delivered for the first time in the run, with its details when they are on (no extra charge for the details). A video met twice in a run is charged once.
• Page: one page row, after the page's videos, charged once when the page delivered at least one charged video; a page that delivers no charged video gets its row free.
• Comment: only with the Comments add-on on, per comment or reply row delivered.
• Free: videos a filter leaves out, repeats, pages that are missing, not public or without videos, refused calls, invalid input (the run pays only its start fee), transcripts, page details, the coverage, status and summary rows, and a video whose details Facebook did not give (delivered with detailsStatus failed or other_post).

Examples at the Gold price: 1,000 videos of one page with their details cost $0.01 + 1,000 x $0.00422 + $0.0011 = $4.2311, about $4.23. 100 videos of one page with 20 comments each cost $0.01 + 100 x $0.00422 + $0.0011 + 2,000 x $0.00019 = $0.8131, about $0.81.

The work allowance

Work that ends without a charged row (videos a filter leaves out, missing pages, refused calls) is bounded in every run by an allowance that grows with the events charged. A filter nothing passes therefore stops early with nothing charged but the start fee, with a coverage row saying work_allowance, instead of reading a page's whole history at no charge.

Input

Pages

Setting	What it does
Facebook pages or profiles (pages)	One per line: a page or profile link, a username or @handle, a numeric profile id or a page's numeric (delegate) id. Up to 500 values. Also read as startUrls, profileUrls, facebook_urls, username, pageId, profileId, pageNames, pageIds, pageTargets, urls, delegatePageId or delegate_page_id.
Pages from a file or Google Sheet link (pagesListUrl)	One https link to a public text or CSV file of up to 1 MB, or a Google Sheet shared with anyone with the link; startUrls items in the { "requestsFromUrl": ... } form are read the same way.
Videos per page (maxVideosPerPage)	Videos delivered per page, newest first (50 when empty, up to 100000). Videos a filter leaves out do not count. Also read as resultsLimit, maxResultsPerPage, maxVideosPerTab or maxVideosPerProfile.
Videos in the whole run (maxItems)	A bound across every page. Also read as maxResults, maxVideos or maxTotalItems.

Filters

Setting	What it does
Published on or after (onlyVideosNewerThan)	YYYY-MM-DD, an ISO time, today, yesterday, or 7 days, 2 weeks, 3 months, 1 year back from the run's start (UTC). The walk stops at the first older videos. Also read as onlyNewerThan, publishedAfter, dateFrom or newerThan.
Published in the last N days (sinceDays)	The same window as a number of days (0 is today). Send one of the two.
Published on or before (onlyVideosOlderThan)	An end date in the same forms (see "End date" below). Also read as onlyOlderThan, publishedBefore, dateTo or olderThan.
Minimum plays (minPlays), Maximum plays (maxPlays)	Bounds on the exact play count. minPlays is also read as minViews.
Minimum length (minDurationSeconds), Maximum length (maxDurationSeconds)	Bounds on the length in seconds.
Minimum reactions (minReactions)	Leaves out videos with fewer reactions. With Video details off, Facebook's list sometimes gives a total of 10,000 or more as 10,000, so a minimum above 10,000 is surest with the details on.
Text contains (includeKeywords), Text does not contain (excludeKeywords)	Whole words or phrases in the title, text or hashtags, case and accents ignored. includeKeywords is also read as keywords or captionContains.
Reels or videos (videoTypes)	reel, video or both (empty). Needs Video details on. Also read as videoType; onlyReels: true keeps reels.
Only videos with captions (onlyWithCaptions)	Keeps videos that carry Facebook captions. Needs Video details on.

Details, add-ons and options

Setting	What it does
Video details (includeDetails)	On by default, no extra charge: reel or video, comment and share counts, HD file, captions, music, exact time. Off: the list's facts only, faster. Also read as includeEngagement.
Transcripts (includeTranscripts)	Free: Facebook's own captions file as transcript and transcriptCues. Needs Video details on. Also read as fetchTranscripts. A video whose page lists only Facebook's automatic translations of its captions (no captionsUrl; 4 of 60 natgeo reels on 2026-10-24) gets no_captions: the translations stay in captionTracks.
Comments (add-on) (includeComments), Comments per video (maxCommentsPerVideo, 20 when empty, replies included; also read as maxCommentsPerItem or comments_limit), Comment order (commentsOrder: oldest, newest, relevant; also read as comment_filter), Replies to comments (includeReplies), Replies per comment (maxRepliesPerComment, 10 when empty)	The Comments add-on, charged per comment row.
Page details (includePageDetails)	Free: the About tab and Meta Ad Library facts on the page row, for a Page that delivered a video.
Include personal data (includePersonalData)	Off by default; see "Personal data".

Run

Setting	What it does
Row format (outputFormat)	full (every field) or compact (26 fields).
Pages at once (maxConcurrency)	1 to 3 pages read at the same time (1 when empty).
Pause between calls (ms) (requestDelayMs)	200 to 10000 ms between two calls of one page (300 when empty).
Stop after (seconds) (maxRunSeconds)	Ends the run after this many seconds with what was read.
Proxy (proxyConfiguration)	Apify Proxy by default: the Videos tab pages, details and comments through Apify's datacenter pool, the Videos tab's list through Apify residential exits in the country named (US when empty). Your own proxy links are possible; with no proxy Facebook gives the first 9 videos of each page only. Also read as proxy.

Example input:

{
  "pages": ["https://www.facebook.com/natgeo", "NASA"],
  "maxVideosPerPage": 200,
  "onlyVideosNewerThan": "3 months",
  "minPlays": 10000
}

Reels or videos

The Videos tab lists a page's reels and its other videos together, with nothing on the list that tells them apart, so Reels or videos is judged on each video's own page (the details read). The videos of the kind you did not ask for are read and left out free. On a page whose list is almost all of the other kind, that unpaid reading can end the run early on its work allowance, with nothing charged but the start fee, with a coverage row saying so: NASA's newest 49 videos, for example, held 48 reels and 1 other video.

End date

The Videos tab lists videos newest first, so with Published on or before the videos newer than the end date are read first (from the list only, no details) and left out free, within the run's unpaid work allowance. In a test run on 2026-10-24 a window from 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-12 on natgeo read 26 newer videos free and delivered the 11 inside the window. An end date far back in a busy page's list can end the run early with a free row saying so.

Personal data

Off by default (includePersonalData). With it off, a person's profile (a public figure's included) keeps its name, and its profile id, username, link and picture are empty; its video links are Facebook's watch links (facebook.com/watch/?v=<id>), which name no profile; mentioned people and commenters keep their names without ids or links; links in the text that reach a person's profile are left out. With it on, those fields are filled, and phone numbers and e-mail addresses written in the text get fields of their own. Texts are always delivered as Facebook serves them. You are responsible for using personal data lawfully, the GDPR included.

What this Actor does NOT do

• No login, cookies or private content: it reads what a visitor who is not logged in sees. A private profile gets a free not_public row; so does a public page that Facebook answered with its login page on all 12 exits a run tried (rare; it happens at busy hours, and a new run may read it), and, now and then, a page that does not exist (Facebook often answers a missing page with its login page too). When Facebook answers a page's Videos tab with its login page 4 times, the Actor asks the page's main page and the tab in turn; a main page that answers starts the videos list from its newest video (the same rows; the summary counts these pages as mainPageHeads). That needs the list call's residential exits: with no proxy or your own proxies, only the tab is asked.
• No single video or reel by its link: it reads the Videos tab of a page or profile, and a link to one video gets a free status row. One video by its link is the job of our Facebook Post Scraper: Reactions and Shares by URL.
• No "only new videos since the last run" or monitor mode: every run reads its pages fresh, and monitor settings are refused (the run pays only its start fee). Schedule the Actor with Apify's scheduler and keep the videos you have by their videoId.
• No always on real time API (Standby mode): it runs as a normal Actor run, because a server kept waiting between calls would cost more than the videos it serves.
• No page photos or albums: those are the job of our Facebook Photos Scraper: Albums, Dates, No Login.
• No search of Facebook by keyword: that is our Facebook Video Search Scraper: Reels, No Login.
• No stored copies of the video files: rows carry Facebook's own file links, which stop working at videoFileUrlExpiresAt.
• No share count for a video read from its own video page (a video of a post with several videos): shareCount is null there.
• At most 100,000 rows a run (videos, pages and comments together).

FAQ

How do I download all the videos of a Facebook page?

Give the page and set Videos per page to 100000: the Videos tab is read newest first to Facebook's own end of the list, reels included. Each row carries the MP4 file links (videoFileUrl for HD with details on, videoFileUrlSd for SD), which you can download until videoFileUrlExpiresAt. A run stops at its timeout (2 hours by default): with Video details on that is about 2,700 videos (1,000 took 42 to 44 minutes), so for a longer list raise the run's timeout in its options, or turn the details off (1,000 videos in 5 minutes). A run that stops at its timeout says so in its coverage rows.

Can I see the views on someone else's Facebook video or reel?

Yes, for videos of public pages and profiles: each row carries playCount, Facebook's exact play count, next to postPlayCount (the plays of that post alone) and playCountLabel, the rounded count Facebook shows.

How do I get a Facebook page's video view counts without being its admin?

Give the page's link, username or id: the Actor reads its Videos tab as a visitor would, so no page access, insights or Graph API token is needed. Schedule the run to follow the counts over time and match rows by videoId.

Can I scrape Facebook videos without logging in?

Yes. The Actor reads what Facebook shows a visitor who is not logged in, through Apify's proxy, with no account, cookies or password of yours.

Why does this Actor run with limited permissions?

It needs only its own run's storage: the dataset it writes and the run's key-value store, where it keeps its run record so a restarted run does not charge a video twice. Limited permissions keep it from reading or changing anything else in your account.
