Is there a way to get the video id from a fb.watch url that you get when you Copy Link on a video?
For example, this url : https://fb.watch/7zK5NDl3Dw/
has the video id 762932621316078 when you visit the link.
I would like to use the Video Graph Api, but it doesn't work with the alias /7zK5NDl3Dw. It does work with the id /762932621316078
fb.watch is just a link shortener, you can get a normal video URL by opening the fb.watch link with any HTTP client and checking the redirect URL. No API is needed.
$ curl -i https://fb.watch/7zK5NDl3Dw/
HTTP/2 302
