How to request Facebook Reels data in Funnel

Harness Facebook Reels data to track performance, refine content strategies, and drive engagement with short-form video.

Updated this week

The Facebook Ads (by Meta) API offers Reels data unavailable in Funnel's Facebook Ads connector. If your use case requires this in Funnel, you can request it as a custom connector.

Custom connectors and data requests are available only in Business and Enterprise plans.

Metrics

The API offers aggregated insight metrics.

  • Blue Reels Play Count: The number of times your reel starts to play after an impression is already counted. This metric counts reels sessions with 1 millisecond or more of playback. This metric excludes replays.

  • Post Impressions Unique: The number of people who saw your reel at least once, whether or not the person played your reel. This metric is different from impressions, which includes multiple views of your reel by the same person. This metric is estimated.

  • Post Video Average Time Watched: The average number of milliseconds your reel was played during a single instance of playing it, including time spent replaying your reel. Because this metric includes replays, the value can be greater than the total length of the reel.

  • Post Video Likes by Reaction Type: The number of likes on your reel.

  • Post Video Social Actions: The number of comments on your reel and the number of times your reel was shared.

  • Post Video View Time: The total number of milliseconds your reel played, including time spent replaying your reel.
