Hey, I want to scrape Facebook and Instagram using snscrape. but i didn't find any helping material related to facebook and instagram (modules and parameters related information).

can you please share some material related to these platforms?

There isn't really any beyond the general help (see README, all scrapers fundamentally work the same way) and what you can find here in the issues. I haven't used these in a long time because both sites have ridiculous rate limits that render anything beyond a handful of posts practically impossible to scrape, so they might be quite broken by now.
