FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does Facebook Reels include likes and comment counts?
- This source returns plays as the only engagement number, so Facebook Reels reports play count rather than likes or comments. It also does not return the caption text, only the caption and dubbed-audio languages.
- How fresh is the data?
- Every request to Facebook Reels fetches data live from the source. Mindcase does not serve cached results.
- Can I pull reels from multiple pages in one run?
- Yes. Pass an array of page URLs in a single call and Facebook Reels fans out the requests in parallel. The response is one consolidated table with a column noting which page each row came from.
- How do I integrate with Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, or Airtable?
- Facebook Reels returns clean JSON and CSV output. Both formats work with every workflow tool. Pipe them in via a webhook step, file download, or by hitting the REST endpoint on a schedule. Same for Slack notifications, Notion databases, and other downstream systems.
- What fields are returned?
- The agent returns the reel URL and ID, owning page, play count, publish time, duration, dimensions, video and thumbnail links, audio title and artist, and caption and dubbed-audio languages.
