The first value is just a name which will be added to the Telegram posts. The second value is the name of the facebook page you can see in the url. The final value is a date and time from which you would like the scraper to check. This is in a very specific format so check the readme to make sure you're getting it correct. Each value must be separated by a comma (csv stands for comma separated values). So an example csv would look like this:

page_name | page_tag | last_post_used

Edit: I am not the developer, I have just been fiddling around with this for a while and have worked out a few things. I would also like to spend some more time getting it working better than it currently does.

Hi, unfortunately I wrote this bot 2 years ago and haven't used it since then. The example given from @o20n3 is correct. I think the code needs some review because it's almost spaghetti code, I'll try do that in these days and updating the readme to be more comprehensible.

I also added a script to do the config for you, feel free to ask if you have any more doubts
