Please could you look into using login credentials to scrape private accounts. Also the ability to scrape stories would be nice.

It is possible if you will use it as module and set session value

I was thinking on adding authorization feature to the CLI but facebook is kinda against such things

Do you mean like using a cookie file? PyInstaLive generates a cookie file on your first login that it then uses for future logins. If that's what you're referring to by session value then that sounds like a good thing to do to me.
