Facebook Profile Reels API
Scrape Facebook Profile Reels data with one API call. Returns Facebook page or profile reels as unified Post items. Each item includes a reel ID, description, thumbnail, duration when available, author identity, `engagement.views` when the upstream provides it, permalink, and publish time. Likes, comments, shares, and saves remain null because this endpoint does not expose those counts. **Two caveats worth knowing before you grade on these numbers:** (1) `engagement.views` here is Facebook's ROUNDED public display value (the "12K" / "2.6M" the page shows, parsed back to a number: e.g. 12000 where the true count is 12366), not an exact count; (2) the upstream carries no per-reel engagement beyond that view count. A third, on pagination: on a page with only a handful of reels the first response can report `pagination.has_more: true` and the next page then come back empty, because the upstream mints a cursor it cannot fill. The empty page is free, so this costs a round trip rather than a credit. For EXACT views plus likes, comments, and shares, the easiest path is `GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels/full`, which runs this list and the per-reel lookups server-side and merges the exact engagement in (flat 5 credits per page of 10 reels). Alternatively, take each item's `post.url` and pass it to `/v1/facebook/post` (single) or batch up to 100 of them into `POST /v1/prism/post-stats` (1 credit per successful URL, dead links refunded).

Returns a page or profile's reels, each with a reel id, description, thumbnail, permalink, publish time, and a rounded public view count.
Use it for a cheap reel listing; when you need exact views plus likes, comments, and shares, use profile/reels/full instead.

The Profile Reels endpoint gives you structured Facebook data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/reels?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMeta"import requests
response = requests.get(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/reels",
params={
'url': 'https://www.facebook.com/Meta',
},
headers={"x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
data = response.json()const response = await fetch(
"https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/facebook/profile/reels?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMeta",
{
headers: { "x-api-key": "YOUR_API_KEY" },
},
);
const data = await response.json();Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Full URL of the Facebook page or profile |
| next_page_id | No | To paginate through to the next page |
| cursor | No | To paginate through to the next page |
| recent_days | No | Keep only reels published in the last N days (1 to 3650) and stop pagination once a page reaches older reels. Does not change the price of a page. |
| since | No | Only rows published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Rows older than it are left off each page. This list is not in date order, so the walk does not stop at the date: keep following `next_cursor`, and each page costs what a page costs even when every row on it is filtered out. A row with no date is kept. `published_after`, `start_date`, `from_date`, `publish_time` (`yesterday`, `this-week`, `this-month`, `last-3-months`, `last-6-months`) and `max_age_days` are accepted and applied as `since`. |
| until | No | Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept. `published_before`, `end_date` and `to_date` are accepted and applied as `until`. |
