Facebook Reels Scraper

How does Facebook Reels Scraper work?

The Facebook Reels Scraper extracts real-time reels directly from any public Facebook page. It is designed for efficiency and ease of use, requiring only a page URL to deliver precise and comprehensive reel data.

Here's how it works:

1. Input Parameters: Simply provide the Facebook page URL to fetch the latest reels published on that page.

2. Data Extraction: The scraper retrieves reels from the Facebook page and extracts relevant details for each reel, including caption text, publish date, preview images, video view counts, and engagement metrics (reactions, likes, comments, shares).

3. Real-Time Output: Unlike preprocessed data, our scraper retrieves up-to-date reels directly from Facebook, ensuring accurate and fresh data every time. There is no caching involved, so every invocation retrieves fresh data.

4. Download Options: Once the reels are extracted, the data can be downloaded in your preferred format, such as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or HTML.

With the Facebook Reels Scraper, you get a user-friendly, reliable tool that delivers fast, accurate, and customizable reel data extraction to meet your specific needs.

Input data

Input data must be provided in JSON format and must contain one mandatory array field "input". Each item in the array represents one request for reels from a Facebook page. Every field listed below is supported:

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
url	Yes	string	URL of the Facebook page for which reels should be obtained, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/DFBTeam.
maxPosts	No	number	Exact number of reels to deliver for this page, counted from the newest reel backwards. The Actor paginates automatically and cuts the result at exactly this number. Defaults to 1.

The "input" field is an array, allowing you to pass multiple page URLs in one run. Each entry is resolved independently, enabling the scraping of reels from many pages in a single call.

Example input

{
  "input": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/DFBTeam",
      "maxPosts": 5
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/redbull",
      "maxPosts": 10
