Facebook Profile Reels API

Bulk-list Facebook content with full metadata for each item.

What is the Facebook Profile Reels API?

The Facebook Profile Reels API lets you list items in bulk with metadata from Facebook with a single REST call. No OAuth, no scraping infrastructure, and no platform SDKs — send the URL, get clean structured JSON back. Results are cached for 24 hours, so repeat lookups are instant and free.

What you get

Bulk list of items with full metadata
View counts, dates, and direct URLs
Configurable result limit
Ideal for monitoring and content pipelines

Example request

curl "https://api.captapi.com/v1/facebook/profile-reels?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwatch%2F%3Fv%3D1234567890123456" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer capt_live_..."

Example response

{
  "success": true,
  "cached": false,
  "creditsUsed": 36,
  "data": {
    "total": 2,
    "items": [
      {
        "title": "Latest upload",
        "url": "https://example.com/a",
        "views": 90120,
        "publishedAt": "2025-01-12"
      },
      {
        "title": "Previous upload",
        "url": "https://example.com/b",
        "views": 75230,
        "publishedAt": "2025-01-04"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Response structure

A successful call returns success, cached, creditsUsed, and a data object with the following fields:

Result

totalNumber of items returned.

Each item

Each item in items contains:

titleItem title.
urlDirect URL to the content.
viewsView count.
publishedAtPublish date (ISO 8601).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
url	string	Yes	Public Facebook channel/playlist URL.
limit	integer	No	Max items to return (default 20).

Authentication: send your key as Authorization: Bearer capt_live_.... A typical call costs 36 credits — billed per result, so the exact amount scales with how many items you request. Repeat calls for the same request are served from cache for free (metrics refresh within ~1 hour).

How it works

1. Sign up — get 100 free credits, no card required.
2. Create a key from your dashboard.
3. Send one request to /v1/facebook/profile-reels and parse the JSON response.
