Facebook Page Reels Scraper

Collect short-form Reels published under a Facebook Page you identify by numeric page id and/or a Reels page id (the feed token when you already have it). Each dataset row is one reel with a link, description, timing, engagement counts, thumbnail, and author block when returned.

Who it’s for

• Social teams reviewing a brand’s Reels performance in a spreadsheet-friendly form.
• Analysts who need stable video_id / post_id keys across runs.
• Automation that already stores Page ids or Reels feed ids from other steps.

What you can do with it

• Target a Page with its numeric id, and/or supply a Reels page id when you have it. At least one of these two identifiers is required.
• Collect up to your chosen cap; the run loads successive batches until the limit is reached or the list ends.

How it works (in plain terms)

You pass one or both of the identifiers above and a maximum row count. The tool retrieves reels in batches and keeps going automatically while more results exist and your cap allows—you do not manage paging yourself.

Input

Field	Required	What it means
Page ID (pageId)	One of two	Numeric id of the Facebook Page.
Reels page ID (reelsPageId)	One of two	The reels feed token for that Page (often from page details).
Maximum results (maxResults)	No	Upper limit on how many reel rows to save (default 50).

You must provide at least one of Page ID or Reels page ID. You may provide both when your workflow supplies them.

Output

• One row per reel (until your cap). Duplicates in the same run are skipped when the same video_id (or post_id / URL) appears again.
• Reel: typically type, video_id, post_id, url, description, timestamp, length_in_seconds, browser_native_hd_url, play_count, comments_count, reactions_count, reshare_count, thumbnail_uri.
• Author: author with id, name, url, profile_picture_url when returned.
• Extra fields: rows may include additional properties beyond those listed.
• Export metadata: pageId appears when you scoped the run with a page id; reelsPageId appears when you set the reels page input; scrapedAt is when that row was saved.

Field availability depends on each reel. Details may change as the product evolves.
