#' Build a collection of Facebook videos to posts
#'
#' @description
#' Connect to Facebook Graph API, get information from a list of Facebook videos to posts and build a \code{FacebookPostsCollection-class}
#' instance.
#' 
#' @details
#' \code{FacebookVideosCollection} is the constructor for the \code{\link{FacebookVideosCollection-class}}.
#' It returns metadata about videos but doesn't return the raw image nor the various image formats available.
#' 
#' @template nesting-fields
#' 
#' @section Valid sources:
#' Instead of a character vector, one of these collections can also be passed as parameter in \code{id}:
#' \itemize{
#'  \item{\code{\link{FacebookUsersCollection-class}} will build a collection with 
#'  the videos that belong to the users in the source collection, assuming they have given the \code{user_videos}
#'  or the \code{user_posts} permission to the current application.}
#'  \item{\code{\link{FacebookPagesCollection-class}} will build a collection with 
#'  the videos uploaded by the pages in the source collection.}
#'  \item{\code{\link{FacebookEventsCollection-class}} will build a collection with 
#'  the videos took at the events in the source collection.}

#' @inheritParams FacebookGenericCollection
#' 
#' @param n If \code{id} is an iterable collection, then \code{n} is the maximum number of videos to be pulled for each element of the source collection
#' in \code{id}. It can be set to \code{Inf} to pull out any available video and assumes the default value from the value
#' of \code{facebook.maxitems} global option if missing. If \code{id} is not a collection or cannot be iterated, the parameter is ignored.
#'
#' @return A collection of videos in a \code{\link{FacebookVideosCollection-class}} object.
