FAQ ❓

Q: Does this actor download video files?
A: No. It returns metadata and a playable_url that may allow streaming or downloading via your tooling.

Q: Why do some videos have missing fields?
A: Availability depends on the public data for that page/post and regional restrictions.

Q: Can I fetch more than one page of results?
A: The output includes page_info.end_cursor and has_next. This actor fetches a single page per run. We can add auto-pagination on request.

Q: Will playable_url always work?
A: These URLs can expire over time. For long-term archiving, fetch and process results promptly.

Q: Does this work for private pages or groups?
A: Only public Page content is supported.
