Return videos in media array for Facebook posts

[kevinschaul]

Hi CrowdTangle,

First off, thanks for a fantastic tool. It is super useful to have a uniform API across social media platforms.

One quirk I noticed is that Facebook posts that include videos seem to only return images in their media arrays. I was hoping to find a link to the .mp4 resource, not just a static representation of it.

The second example in the docs here made me expect videos in the media array.

Is there any way those could be integrated?

Thanks again.

Hi Kevin. We're going to check it out. It shows up in some posts but not all, we'll take a look and see why. I'll get back to you sometime soon with an answer!
