Facebook Video Downloader
Maxime Dupré
Get a direct source link and public details for the known public Facebook video in this example. The example passes one URL in `urls` and sets `preferredQuality` to `best`. A saved row reports the media type, selected quality, format, and public details. The run's default key-value store has a `TARGET-OUTCOMES` record for the accepted URL, even when no media row is saved.
