From Request to Clean JSON

You write one line. We do everything between the request and the data.

01

You send

One API call

GET the Facebook endpoint with your key. That's all your code does.

02

We handle

Proxies · captchas · parsing

Residential exit, anti-bot walls, JS rendering and extraction, all server-side, on us.

03

You get

Clean JSON

A structured object every time. No HTML, no scraping code, no maintenance.

The Facebook Post Transcript endpoint is one API call: send a URL with your HProxy key and get back a clean, structured JSON object. Pull the full timestamped transcript of the video in any Facebook post, every spoken line with its start and end time. HProxy runs the proxies, sessions, anti-bot handling and parsing server-side, so there is no headless browser to babysit and no parser to keep fixing when Facebook changes its markup. You only ever touch the JSON.
