Facebook api – Unable to fetch videos of facebook page using graph API

I have a Facebook page where i have 3 posts and those posts contains videos in it but when i try to access videos using graph api, No videos are getting returned.

here is the API I’m trying

API - https://graph-video.facebook.com/{ page_id }/videos?access_token={ access_token }

here are the permissions given to this access_token

email
pages_show_list
pages_read_engagement
public_profile

Then i tried following approach whether videos are available or not just for R&D purpose and i am getting the videos detail

  • Get all posts via access token
  • From the posts response get page access token
  • use the page access token use attachment api
  • Here i am getting the video details

So, the query is why /videos api not giving me any result. Can anyone please help me out on this ?

Thanks.

    This is how I’d request to get videos from facebook page, send out a GET request to /{page-id}/videos using curl like below.

    curl -i -X GET "https://graph.facebook.com/{page-id}/videos?access_token={access-token}"

    Check Permissions:

    pages_read_engagement
pages_read_user_content
pages_show_list

    Use the Correct Endpoint:

       https://graph.facebook.com/{page_id}/videos?access_token={access_token}

    Check Page Roles:

    <?php
$page_id = 'your_page_id';
$access_token = 'your_access_token';

$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{$page_id}/videos?access_token={$access_token}";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    print_r($data);
}
curl_close($ch);
?>

    If the /videos endpoint still does not return any results, try fetching posts and then extracting video details from the posts:

    <?php
$page_id = 'your_page_id';
$access_token = 'your_access_token';

$url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{$page_id}/posts?access_token={$access_token}";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    $posts = json_decode($response, true);
    foreach ($posts['data'] as $post) {
        $post_id = $post['id'];
        $attachment_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{$post_id}/attachments?access_token={$access_token}";
        
        $ch_attachment = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch_attachment, CURLOPT_URL, $attachment_url);
        curl_setopt($ch_attachment, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        
        $attachment_response = curl_exec($ch_attachment);
        if (curl_errno($ch_attachment)) {
            echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch_attachment);
        } else {
            $attachments = json_decode($attachment_response, true);
            print_r($attachments);
        }
        curl_close($ch_attachment);
    }
}
curl_close($ch);
?>
