Questions
Facebook Video Transcript API FAQ
The short answers. The docs have the long ones.
Still have a question?
Talk to the people who build the endpoints.
How much does the Facebook Video Transcript API cost?
1 credit per successful call, shown before it runs. You buy credits once, and paid credits never expire.
What do I send?
Send url. The input fields below list every option with its type and limits.
Do I need a Facebook login?
No. It reads public Facebook data; nothing runs on your account.
Can my AI agent call it?
Yes, over MCP: the agent finds facebook.video-transcript.get, checks its price and runs it with the same credits as the REST API.
