Facebook Reels Scraper

Extract the reels of public Facebook Pages and profiles without logging in: caption, hashtags, publish time, play count, reactions, comments, shares, duration, video and thumbnail URLs, subtitle tracks and the Page's details on every reel.

Run on Apify

What it extracts

Every field below comes from the Actor’s published dataset schema.

Field	Description	Type
`pageName`	Page	text
`caption`	Caption	text
`publishedAt`	Published	date
`url`	Reel URL	link
`playCount`	Plays	number
`reactionCount`	Reactions	number
`commentCount`	Comments	number
`shareCount`	Shares	number
`durationSeconds`	Duration (s)	number
`thumbnailUrl`	Thumbnail	image
`videoUrl`	Video URL	link
`hashtags`	Hashtags	array
`inputUrl`	Input	text

Input parameters

Generated from the Actor’s input schema — the same fields the Apify console shows.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`startUrls`	array	Required	Facebook Pages or public profiles whose reels to scrape. Paste a page URL such as https://www.facebook.com/natgeo, its reels tab (…/natgeo/reels), a username such as natgeo, or a profile.php?id=… link. One entry per page, and as many pages as you like.
`maxItems`	integer	Optional	Maximum number of reels to scrape from each page (start URL), newest first.
`untilDate`	string	Optional	Stop scraping a page when its reels get older than this date (format: YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to scrape until maxItems is reached.
`proxyConfiguration`	object	Optional	Proxy configuration. Facebook serves reels without a proxy, so none is used by default. Switch to Apify datacenter or residential proxies if pages come back blocked.

    print(item)

Runs are executed on Apify. Create an API token in your Apify account, then call the Actor over REST or with the official client for your language. The same input object works in the Apify console, so you can test interactively before automating.
