Videos → Get Live Videos
AI-generatedOverview
The "Get Live Videos" operation under the "Videos" resource in this node allows users to retrieve live video streams associated with a specific Facebook Page. This is useful for monitoring ongoing live broadcasts, gathering data about live content, or integrating live video information into automated workflows.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically fetching current live videos from a Facebook Page to display on a website or app.
- Archiving or analyzing live video metadata for marketing or engagement insights.
- Triggering downstream workflow actions based on live video availability or status.
For example, a social media manager could use this node to pull all active live videos from their brand's Facebook Page and then send notifications or update dashboards accordingly.

Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the live videos retrieved from the specified Facebook Page. Each object contains details about a live video stream, such as its ID, title, description, status, and other metadata provided by the Facebook Graph API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for the external N8N Tools API service used for subscription validation.
- Requires Facebook API credentials (OAuth2 or API key) to authenticate requests to the Facebook Graph API.
- The node internally uses the Facebook Graph API v23.0 endpoints via helper classes.
- Proper permissions/scopes must be granted to the Facebook API credentials to access live video data for the specified Page.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential for the external N8N Tools API is correctly configured and active.
- Permission Denied or Access Errors: Ensure the Facebook credentials have the necessary permissions to read live video data from the target Page.
- Missing or Incorrect Page ID: Confirm that the Page ID input is correct and corresponds to a Facebook Page accessible by the authenticated user.
- API Rate Limits: Facebook may impose rate limits; if errors occur due to too many requests, consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
