CLI - Not working with "some" pages (fine with others) #205

Hi,

I've implemented this today and get "Couldn't get any posts" returned for some public pages even though they have some very recent ones. Other pages are fine.

I am using the CLI.

Here are two example of public pages that returns no posts.

https://www.facebook.com/Bedworthwarriors/ https://www.facebook.com/PeacehavenAthletic/

e.g. $ facebook-scraper --filename page_posts.csv --pages 3 Bedworthwarriors

but this works fine

$ facebook-scraper --filename page_posts.csv --pages 3 bbcnews

Can you help please?

Thanks!
