Group Doesn't exist.

Describe the bug

I'm trying to scrape a Facebook Group data but couldn't do that as I am facing following error : ScraperException: Code container ID marker not found (does the group exist?)

How to reproduce

import snscrape

# Fetch the Facebook posts
count = 10
for i, post in enumerate(snscrape.modules.facebook.FacebookGroupScraper('instantdata').get_items()):
    if i > count:
        break

This is the shortest possible code that causes the error.

Expected behaviour

import snscrape

# Fetch the Facebook posts
count = 10
for i, post in enumerate(snscrape.modules.facebook.FacebookGroupScraper('instantdata').get_items()):
    if i > count:
        break

This is the code I am using to scrape data and it should return me scraped data.

If an issue is open, it means it is not fixed. If a workaround existed, it would be mentioned there.
