Facebook Profile Reels Full API
Returns a page's reels with exact per-reel engagement merged in: views, likes, comments, and shares, plus each reel's id, thumbnail, and link.

When to use the Facebook Profile Reels Full API
Use it instead of profile/reels when the numbers matter, since that list carries only a rounded view count and no likes or comments.
From the API reference
Returns a Facebook page or profile's reels with EXACT per-reel engagement merged in: one call instead of the reels-list → post-stats chain. The plain /v1/facebook/profile/reels list only carries a rounded public view count ("12K" parsed back to 12000) and no likes, comments, or shares, because Facebook exposes those on the individual reel permalink only. This endpoint fetches the list, then queries each reel's permalink server-side and overwrites the item's engagement with the exact figures: views (the rounded list value is replaced), likes, comments, and shares. saves stays null (Facebook exposes no public save count), and comments can be null on a zero-comment reel (a quirk of the permalink upstream). Per-item ext.engagement_source is "post_detail" when the exact figures landed and null when that reel's lookup failed (the item then keeps the honest list values); read engagement_coverage before grading, and _warnings: ["engagement_partial"] flags a partial page. Billing: a flat 5 credits per page of 10 reels (1 credit for the list + 4 for the per-reel enrichment, roughly half the cost of running the chain yourself); if enrichment yields zero coverage the 4-credit premium is refunded automatically. Paginate with next_cursor, or pass limit (1-50) to have the endpoint walk pages server-side until it has collected that many reels, billed per page consumed.

What can you do with the Profile Reels Full API?
The Profile Reels Full endpoint gives you structured Facebook data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels/full: Metered: holds 5 credits per call up front and refunds what the call does not use. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 44: this endpoint's measured p99 latency x 1.5.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.

| Parameter | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| url | Yes | Full URL of the Facebook page or profile. A profile share link (`https://www.facebook.com/share/…`) is accepted. |
| cursor | No | Cursor from a prior response's next_cursor to page deeper. |
| limit | No | Return up to this many reels in one call (1-50). The endpoint pages the underlying list server-side until it has collected this many (or runs out), and bills per upstream page consumed (5 credits/page of 10). If the walk hits the internal time budget first, the response carries `_warnings: ["walk_deadline_reached"]`, unfetched pages are refunded, and `next_cursor` resumes where it stopped. Omit for a single page. |
