Error Response
Limitations
- Only works on public Facebook content (private/friends-only posts are not accessible)
- Direct video CDN URLs (
cdnUrl) are time-limited and expire after a few hours - Share counts may not always be exact due to Facebook's display rounding
- Facebook may rate-limit or block requests for very high-volume batches — add delays between runs if needed
