Though it is possible to get video information uploaded by a page, how do you get video info uploaded by a user which is publicly available?

This can be done when it is uploaded by a Page.

https://graph.facebook.com/VIDEO_ID/picture https://graph.facebook.com/VIDEO_ID

But not when uploaded by a user.

I know this is possible because there are free online facebook downloaders that could grab the video of a user. Of course it should be publicly available.

  • You use https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/user/videos/ – WizKid Dec 14 '16 at 22:21
  • You need the user to grant your app permission to read their videos first. (Public or not does not matter when it comes to the API.) – CBroe Dec 15 '16 at 12:19
  • But why does online video downloaders out there does not need app permission? It's not even an app. Just a website that could scrape user videos. – basagabi Dec 15 '16 at 16:27
