## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to extract the spoken transcript or caption text from a specific public Facebook video or reel. It is pay-per-call with no charge for failed runs, making it safe to use speculatively. Prefer this over general-purpose scrapers when the target is specifically a Facebook video and you need structured output including segment-level and word-level caption data.

## Known failure modes

- Video is private or restricted — transcript cannot be extracted
- Video has no public captions enabled — transcript field returns null
- Invalid or malformed Facebook URL — request rejected
- Video has been deleted or is unavailable — empty result returned
- Rate limiting or scraping block from Facebook — failed run (not charged)

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of items, each containing the full transcript text, normalized caption segments, word-level data, video ID, post ID, permalink, the original Facebook URL, and a status field indicating whether extraction succeeded. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
