Trying to parse posts and comments for the Russian segment of Facebook. When I try to run the code below, I get HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://m.facebook.com/%D0%B6%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0/

for post in get_posts('жара', pages=1, options={'comments' : True, 'progress' : True, 'allow_extra_requests' : True}):
    print(post['text'][:50])

That URL doesn't work for me either. Is this a page or a group? There's several pages and groups on Facebook called жара - which one did you mean? You need to pass the unique fragment from the URL

That is an URL generated by my query in Russian.

What query? Do you mean https://www.facebook.com/heat.public? In that case, pass "heat.public"

No, I mean I want to search for posts with my query. For example, I chose my search query as "жара" which is "heat" in Russian. I expected to get posts and comments as a result of search via this query.

get_posts is intended for collecting posts from a given page or group. It is not a search function. The scraper does not currently support search
