Facebook Scraper
Get Facebook Post
Retrieves a single public Facebook post or reel by URL. Use one request per reel, passing its returned /reel/ URL from /v1/facebook/profile/reels, to retrieve available like_count, reaction_counts, comment_count, share_count, and a more precise view_count when Facebook exposes it. This endpoint accepts a single URL, not a batch; exact views are not guaranteed. Returns post_id, like_count, comment_count, share_count, view_count, description, creation_time, and author details, including the author handle when Facebook exposes a vanity profile URL. For some reels, Facebook does not expose the same view count on the individual post page that it shows on the profile Reels grid. This value can be null or lower than the public Reels badge. If you need the public Reel badge count, call /v1/facebook/profile/reels with the author URL and match the reel by post_id. For video posts, includes video sd_url, hd_url, thumbnail, and length_in_second. Optionally fetches comments and transcript via get_comments and get_transcript parameters. Transcription is opt-in via get_transcript=true. Over 120 seconds, videos cannot be AI-transcribed by default. These routes remain synchronous. Allow at least 30 seconds on your client.
