Facebook Profile Reels API

Changed on

Latest Facebook page Reels — views, likes, comments, shares; newest-first without archive padding.

Pass a Facebook page or profile URL and get that account's recent Reels as clean JSON: caption, publishedAt, duration, thumbnail / video URL, author, and full engagement (views, likes, comments, shares). Results are newest-first. Listing uses the Reels tab when available (else Videos), with a shallow scroll so years-old archive videos from deep /videos history are not mixed in; a >1 year gap between consecutive items stops the page (recency cliff). Includes scrapedAt so you can compare counts with Profile Posts from the same moment. Flat 2 credits per call. Pass cache=true to serve from the 24h shared cache (0 credits on hit); default is always fresh. Hard deadline 90s → 503 with a body (0 credits), not a raw client timeout. A missing or non-public page is 404; a Reels tab that did not render is a retryable 502 FACEBOOK_RENDER_FAILED (0 credits). Each reel carries mediaUrlsExpireAt for its signed thumbnail / video URLs.
