# Daily Facebook Reels monitoring - latest reels

**Use case:** 

Template task for scheduled daily runs. Pulls the latest reels from a Facebook page with a 1-day cache on so repeat runs skip live calls on unchanged reels: you only pay for genuinely new data. Pair with Apify Schedules for hands-off monitoring. Add onlyReelsNewerThan when scheduling to stop pagination early once a full page is entirely older than the filter.

## Input

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [🎬 Facebook Reels Scraper - MP4, Views, Audio [NO LOGIN]](https://apify.com/unseenuser/fb-reels.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

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 full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/unseenuser/fb-reels.md

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`).
