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.

GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels/full

Last updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team

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.

Parameters

ParameterRequiredDescription
urlYesFull URL of the Facebook page or profile. A profile share link (`https://www.facebook.com/share/…`) is accepted.
cursorNoCursor from a prior response's next_cursor to page deeper.
limitNoReturn 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.

How do I get exact counts from the Facebook reels views API?
Send a GET request to /v1/facebook/profile/reels/full with the page or profile URL in url. SocialCrawl fetches the reels list, looks up each reel's permalink on the server and replaces the rounded list figure with exact views, likes, comments and shares.
Why not use the plain Facebook reels API?
The plain /v1/facebook/profile/reels list carries only Facebook's rounded public view count, such as 12K parsed back to 12000, and no likes, comments or shares. This endpoint merges the per-reel figures in, so you do not run the list and a post lookup for every reel yourself.
What does each reel in the response contain?
Each item is a post with its id, url, description text, thumbnail, duration, author and publish time, plus engagement.views, likes, comments and shares. saves is null because Facebook publishes no public save count, and ext.engagement_source reads post_detail when the exact figures landed.
How much does the Facebook reels views endpoint cost?
It bills 5 credits per page of 10 reels, which covers the list and the per-reel lookups. Pass limit (1 to 50) to collect more reels in one call, up to 25 credits; pages it did not need are refunded, and if no reel on a page gets exact figures, the lookup part of the price is refunded automatically.
How do I page through all of a page's reels?
Send data.next_cursor back as cursor for the next page, or set limit and let the endpoint walk pages on the server until it has that many reels. If a long walk runs out of time, the response carries walk_deadline_reached, unfetched pages are refunded, and next_cursor resumes where it stopped.
How do I know every reel got exact numbers?
Read engagement_coverage before you compare reels, and check _warnings for engagement_partial, which flags a page where some lookups failed. A reel whose lookup failed keeps the list values and has ext.engagement_source set to null.
