Facebook Reels Audio Downloader

Extracts high-quality audio directly from Facebook Reels, providing CDN URLs, multiple format variants, and preserved metadata. Built for automation workflows requiring clean audio isolation.

Overview

This actor is a specialized tool for downloading the audio track from Facebook Reels videos. It bypasses the need to download the entire video by accessing Facebook's content delivery network (CDN) directly to retrieve available audio streams. The output includes direct download links, technical format details, and contextual metadata from the original reel.

Key Features

• Direct Audio Stream Extraction: Fetches audio directly from Facebook's CDN, not the full video file.
• Multiple Format Variants: Returns an array of available audio streams (e.g., M4A, MP4, DASH) for compatibility.
• Metadata Preservation: Extracts and includes the reel's title, view counts, reactions, hashtags, and creator info.
• Technical Data: Provides format IDs, container extensions (ext), and CDN preference hints.

How to Use

Configure the actor with a list of Facebook Reel URLs. It processes each URL and returns a dataset containing the audio download information.
