couldn't get any posts

Hello. Suddenly the script stopped working. Returns only the message "couldn't get any posts". What happened?

Hello Paulo, I also have a same problem. Did you find any solution?

Still not working here. It appears that the cli program is trying to build the url as "https://m.facebook.com/[username]/posts/" which returns a 404

The scraper will try /posts/ first, and fallback to / if it fails

I think that the issue for me might be that the username that I am trying to search has periods "." in it which may be messing up the search query. here is my output right here. p.s. I have changed the username so that I do not post anyones personal profile, but I have been using a real username and it returns a 404 every time
