Get the key public details from Facebook posts and reels — caption, views, reactions, comments, shares, publish date, and more — just by pasting links.

What you get

For each URL you provide, the actor returns one result with:

FieldMeaning
urlThe link you pasted
finalUrlThe full Facebook page for that post/reel
postIdFacebook’s post / reel id
authorPage or profile name
pageHandlePublic username (when available)
captionPost text
playCountViews / plays
reactionsReaction count
commentsComment count
sharesShare count
durationSecVideo length in seconds
postDateWhen it was published (UTC)
thumbnailPreview image
statusok if it worked, error if not
errorShort reason when something failed

Some fields can be empty (null) when Facebook doesn’t show them publicly.

How to use

  1. Open the actor and paste your Facebook links into URLs — one link per line.
  2. Leave Parallel workers at the default (16), or raise it for large batches (max 48).
  3. Click Start.
  4. Download results from the Dataset tab (JSON, CSV, Excel, etc.).
  • Share links (facebook.com/share/r/…, share/p/…, share/v/…)
  • Reels (facebook.com/reel/…)
  • Watch / video links
  • Public posts and permalinks

Example input

https://www.facebook.com/share/r/…
https://www.facebook.com/reel/…
https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=…

Tips

  • Use public posts and reels. Private or login-only content can’t be read.
  • For big lists, start with the default workers; increase only if you’re comfortable with a higher request rate.
  • Thumbnail image links can expire after some time — save images you need soon after the run.
  • Share counts of null usually mean Facebook didn’t expose the number publicly (not always “zero”).

Common results

StatusWhat it means
okMetadata extracted successfully
error + login_wallPost requires login / isn’t public
error + empty_or_unresolvedLink couldn’t be opened or had no usable public data
