How can I download facebook video using python

I'm making a facebook messenger chat bot using fbchat. Now I want to add facebook video download feature. I want to input the video url and get back the src download url as return.

I tired to add some thirdparty API's but non of them works.

Solution 
  • import requests

def download_facebook_video(url, save_path):
response = requests.get(url, stream=True)

if response.status_code == 200:
    with open(save_path, 'wb') as f:
        for chunk in response.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
            f.write(chunk)
    print("Video downloaded successfully!")
else:
    print("Failed to download video.")

# Example usage
video_url = '<YOUR_FACEBOOK_VIDEO_URL>'
save_file_path = '<PATH_TO_SAVE_VIDEO>'
download_facebook_video(video_url, save_file_path)

    Make sure you have necessary permission from Facebook to download videos
