Which kinds of Facebook links are supported?

Reels, Watch videos and media attached to ordinary posts. fb.watch and fb.me short links are followed, and mobile story.php addresses are accepted in the form the app shares them.

Can I fetch something from a private group?

No. Anything that needs a login is out of reach and comes back as a 403 that costs 0.1 credits. Only publicly visible posts resolve.

Why does the same post sometimes return a different URL?

Facebook signs its media URLs and rotates them. Fetch the file soon after you resolve it, or resolve again when you need it — do not store the URL for days.
