# Track a competitor's Facebook Reels output

**Use case:** 

Pull every public Reel from a competitor's Facebook page in one run. Each row has the direct MP4 URL, view count, play time, thumbnail, audio track, and author (with verified flag). Perfect for tracking a competitor's posting cadence, catching new campaigns early, and benchmarking content performance over time. No login, no cookies. Free plan runs are capped at 50 results.

## 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. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/unseenuser/fb-reels.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## 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`).
