Do I need a Facebook developer account?

No. There is no Facebook app, OAuth flow or app review. One InsightSocial API key works for this endpoint and every other platform, and your first 10 calls priced at 100 credits or less are free.

How do I get every result, not just the first page?

This endpoint pages. Each response carries pagination.next_cursor and pagination.has_more. Send next_cursor back unchanged as the cursor parameter and stop when has_more is false. Every page is a separate call and is charged as one.

What happens if the account is private or nothing is found?

You get an error or an empty result, and it costs 0 credits. The API reads public Facebook data only, so private accounts and deleted content come back as not found rather than as partial data.

Can I call the Facebook Profile Reels Full API from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Add the hosted MCP server at https://api.insightsocial.app/mcp to your AI app and sign in. The assistant finds this endpoint by name, shows its price and calls it with your credits.

When to use it

Use it instead of profile/reels when the numbers matter, since that list carries only a rounded view count and no likes or comments.

Parameters

Query parameters for GET /v1/facebook/profile/reels/full. Send your key in the x-api-key header.

Name	Required	Description
url	Yes	Full URL of the Facebook page or profile
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 page read. Omit for a single page.

Response

This endpoint returns the platform's own fields in data, in snake_case, rather than a unified post or profile. The reference page lists them.

Every field, error and example is in the Facebook Profile Reels Full API reference.

How much does the Facebook Profile Reels Full API cost?

Metered: 50–250 credits a call. The ceiling is reserved when the call starts and you are charged what it actually read.

Failed calls are free
A call that errors or finds nothing costs 0 credits.
Know the price first
Add dry_run=1 and the response quotes the call without making it. Nothing is charged.
One balance
API calls and Chrome extension exports share the same credits, on the free plan too.
