The most powerful Facebook Reels Scraper and Facebook Page/Profile Scraper on Apify. Extract reels with direct HD/SD video download links, play counts, audio metadata, and full Page & Profile details — all without needing a Facebook account or API token.

⚙️ Input Configuration

Field	Description	Default
Facebook Username(s)	One or more usernames entered as a list — one per line/entry (e.g., Cristiano, IamSRK, nike). Each is auto-converted to a full profile URL.	—
Facebook Profile / Page URLs	One or more Facebook profile URLs, page URLs, people URLs, reels URLs, or usernames. Supports bulk input.	—
Number of Reels to Scrape	How many reels to extract per profile. Range: 1–10,000.	20
Include Profile Details	Toggle to also extract full profile information alongside reels.	Off

You can enter input as a simple username, a full Page/Profile URL (https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano), a direct reels URL (https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano/reels/), or a /people/ URL (https://www.facebook.com/people/Page-Name/123456789/). The Facebook Reels Scraper automatically normalizes all input formats. To scrape multiple profiles at once, add each username as a separate entry in the Facebook Username(s) field — one per line, just like the URL list input.

🔗 Supported URL Formats

All of the following URL formats are accepted:

Format	Example
Plain username	Cristiano
Multiple usernames (one per entry)	Cristiano / IamSRK / nike (each on its own line)
Profile URL	https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano
Profile URL with trailing slash	https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano/
Direct reels URL	https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano/reels/
People URL (numeric ID)	https://www.facebook.com/people/World-Of-Animals/61552013901333/
Short path (no domain)	people/World-Of-Animals/61552013901333
HTTP or HTTPS	Both http:// and https:// are accepted

Duplicate Page/Profiles are detected and skipped — even if you enter the same Page/Profile as both a username and URL.

⚡ Performance & Reliability

This Facebook Reels Scraper is engineered for speed, cost efficiency, and resilience:

• No browser overhead — Pure HTTP requests with browser-level fingerprint impersonation. No Puppeteer, Playwright, or Chrome instance required.
• Ultra-low memory — Runs on just 512 MB – 1 GB. Competing scrapers typically need 4–16 GB.
• Parallel internal processing — Key extraction steps run concurrently for faster setup time.
• Smart pagination — Only triggers GraphQL pagination when the initial HTML page has fewer reels than your target. If the request can be satisfied from the first page alone, pagination is skipped entirely for maximum speed.
• Automatic empty-page retry — Retries transient empty pages (up to 2 attempts with backoff) before advancing to the next cursor.
• Resilient connections — Every HTTP request includes automatic retry with progressive backoff (up to 3 attempts per request).
• Duplicate detection — Same Page/Profile entered in multiple formats? Automatically deduplicated before scraping begins.
• Spending limit awareness — Respects user-configured budget limits and stops gracefully when reached.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How is this Facebook Reels Scraper different from other Apify scrapers?

Most Facebook scrapers rely on headless browsers, which are slow (3–10 minutes per Page/Profile), expensive (high memory consumption), and fragile (easily detected by anti-bot systems). This Facebook Reels Scraper uses advanced HTTP-level browser fingerprint impersonation — it's 10x faster, uses 90% less memory, and delivers more reliable results.

Can I download the actual reel videos?

Yes. Every reel includes direct HD and SD video file URLs. You can download them programmatically with any HTTP client, or paste the URL into a browser to save the file.

Does this Facebook Profile Scraper work on both personal profiles and pages?

Absolutely. The Facebook Profile Scraper automatically detects whether the target is a Personal Profile or a Facebook Page. It adapts extraction logic accordingly and labels each profile with its detected type. For personal profiles with no public reels, the scraper skips pagination gracefully and reports the result cleanly.

How many reels can I scrape per profile?

You can configure the target from 1 to 10,000 reels per profile. The Facebook Reels Scraper paginates automatically until the target count is reached or all available reels on the profile are exhausted.

What if a profile has fewer reels than my target?

The scraper extracts all available reels and reports the actual count. You are only charged for the reels that were actually delivered — never for reels that don't exist.

Do I need a Facebook account to use this?

No. This Facebook Reels Scraper works entirely without any authentication. It accesses only content that is publicly visible to anyone on the internet.

What input formats are supported?

You can enter a plain username (e.g., Cristiano), a full profile URL (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/Cristiano), a /people/ URL (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/people/World-Of-Animals/61552013901333/), or a direct reels page URL. To target multiple profiles, add each username as a separate entry in the Facebook Username(s) field — one per line, the same way you add multiple URLs. All formats are automatically normalized by the actor.

Can I scrape multiple profiles in one run?

Yes. Add as many URLs as you need to the input list. Each profile is processed sequentially, and all results are pushed to the same dataset. Duplicates are automatically detected and skipped.

What happens if the scraper hits a connection error?

All requests include automatic retry logic with progressive backoff delays. Transient network issues and temporary rate limits are handled gracefully without losing any progress.

Is the Page/Profile data extraction optional?

Yes. Page/Profile extraction is a separate toggle. If you only need reels, leave Include Page/Profile Details disabled to save both cost and time. The Facebook Page/Profile Scraper functionality only runs (and charges) when you explicitly enable it.

What export formats are available?

The Apify dataset supports export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and direct API access. You can also integrate with Google Sheets, webhooks, and 1,000+ apps via Zapier or Make.
