## Pricing

from $0.20 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

### Input

Provide a list of hashtags in the following formats:

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["#music", "#love"]
}
```

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["#music", "#love"],
  "date": "last-3-months"
}
```

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["#music", "#love"],
  "date": "ignore",
  "from": "2024-01-01",
  "to": "2024-02-01"
}
```

```json
{
  "hashtags": ["#music", "#love"],
  "from": "2024-01-01",
  "to": "2024-02-01"
}
```

***

#### Optional filters

##### `date`

A predefined date range filter.
If provided and **not set to `ignore`**, this option **takes precedence over `from` and `to`**.

```json
{
  "date": "last-6-months"
}
```

**Allowed values:**

- `ignore`
- `last-1-day`
- `last-2-days`
- `last-3-days`
- `last-4-days`
- `last-5-days`
- `last-6-days`
- `last-1-week`
- `last-2-weeks`
- `last-3-weeks`
- `last-1-month`
- `last-2-months`
- `last-3-months`
- `last-4-months`
- `last-5-months`
- `last-6-months`
- `last-7-months`
- `last-8-months`
- `last-9-months`
- `last-10-months`
- `last-11-months`
- `last-1-year`
- `last-2-years`
- `last-3-years`
- `last-7-years`

> **Note:**
> Use `ignore` if you want to rely exclusively on the `from` / `to` date range instead.

***

##### `from`

Start date for filtering results.

```json
{
  "from": "2024-01-01"
}
```

- Must be a valid date string.
- Only effective when `date` is set to `ignore` or when the `date` property is not provided at all.

***

##### `to`

End date for filtering results.

```json
{
  "to": "2024-03-01"
}
```

- Must be a valid date string.
- Only effective when `date` is set to `ignore` or when the `date` property is not provided at all.

***

##### `limit`

Result limit

```json
{
  "limit": "100"
}
```

***

### Output

The Actor returns a dataset with the following fields:

| Field         | Description                                 |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `author_name`   | The Auhtor              |
| `author_link`   | URL of the author page on Facebook       |
| `hashtag` | The queried hashtag (including `#`)        |
| `video_url` | URL of the video on Facebook             |

***

### Notes on Date Filtering Behavior

- If `date` ≠ `ignore`, it **overrides** `from` and `to`.
- If `date` = `ignore`, the Actor uses the `from` / `to` range.
- If no date filters are provided, the Actor defaults to returning results from the **last 6 months**.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "hashtags": [
        "‎#music‎"
    ],
    "date": "last-6-months",
    "limit": "0"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("sasky/facebook-hashtag-videos-urls-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "hashtags": [
    "‎#music‎"
  ],
  "date": "last-6-months",
  "limit": "0"
}' |
apify call sasky/facebook-hashtag-videos-urls-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,sasky/facebook-hashtag-videos-urls-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
