Getting the issue of unsupported browser for facebook

[MussabMehboob]

I am attaching an image showing the problem. I am getting this error. Input Code:

from facebook_scraper import * get_group_info("Python Developers Connect",cookies="cookie.txt")

Output:

warnings.warn(f"Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'") Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Mussab\PycharmProjects\Facebook Scraper\main.py", line 2, in get_group_info("Python Developer Connect", cookies="cookie.txt") File "C:\Users\Mussab\PycharmProjects\Facebook Scraper\venv\lib\site-packages\facebook_scraper__init__.py", line 126, in get_group_info return _scraper.get_group_info(group, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\Mussab\PycharmProjects\Facebook Scraper\venv\lib\site-packages\facebook_scraper\facebook_scraper.py", line 665, in get_group_info resp = self.get(url).html File "C:\Users\Mussab\PycharmProjects\Facebook Scraper\venv\lib\site-packages\facebook_scraper\facebook_scraper.py", line 829, in get raise exceptions.UnexpectedResponse("Your request couldn't be processed") facebook_scraper.exceptions.UnexpectedResponse: Your request couldn't be processed

try it, adding a user agent.

from facebook_scraper import *

set_user_agent(
    "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)")

This worked for me.

You need to pass the group id, not name. "pythonconnect" instead of "Python Developers Connect"

facebook-scraper 350448261731413

I am also getting this error message when passing the ID

[jpkrop]

I have the same error now (first time, before all works good). I add the user agent as the post of @weg38asyy but this time I not have error message but I have a new problem, result is not complete (maybe 5%).

Do you know why ?

[neon-ninja]

@wgicio is that the full command?

@jpkrop I wouldn't recommend using that user agent

[wgicio]

@neon-ninja facebook-scraper 350448261731413 --filename 20220410_350448261731413.csv --cookies fbcookie.txt --group --sleep 4 --pages 15 --days-limit 14 --k post_id,text,time,image,images,link,post_url,user_id,username,listing_price,page_id --encoding utf8 --verbose -nm $'We are looking for|massage|im looking for|hello all|hello dear|HAIR COLOUR|hello everybody|hello friends|hi guys|hello guys|hi there|hello there|carpenter|jeep|moving service|we are a couple|i am looking for|Scooter Rental|i\'m looking for|we\'re looking for' -m '081|082|085|086|087|089|628|62 8|62-8|wa.me|whatsapp|Whats App|Dm|Pm|message'

[neon-ninja]

Using that command generates a CSV with 7 rows, so it seems to be working fine for me

[neon-ninja]

Maybe try update to the latest version

Hey i m getting this error C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\facebook_scraper\facebook_scraper.py:841: UserWarning: Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser' warnings.warn(f"Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'")

[Nabeelyousaf]

@neon-ninja any solution about it

[neon-ninja]

It's not an error, just a warning. It's safe to ignore

[Nabeelyousaf]

@neon-ninja ok got it hey, can I get Facebook page info?

[neon-ninja]

Yes. get_profile returns a dict. Try print it to console

[Nabeelyousaf]

hey @neon-ninja i m getting this exception in get raise exceptions.LoginRequired( facebook_scraper.exceptions.LoginRequired: A login (cookies) is required to see this page

[neon-ninja]

Then pass cookies as per the readme

[Nabeelyousaf]

@neon-ninja i m getting new error

[neon-ninja]

The cookies.txt file needs to be in the same directory as where you run the script from

[Nabeelyousaf]

hey @neon-ninja i m getting new error File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\facebook_scraper__init__.py", line 48, in set_cookies raise exceptions.InvalidCookies(f"Missing cookies with name(s): {missing_cookies}") facebook_scraper.exceptions.InvalidCookies: Missing cookies with name(s): ['c_user', 'xs']

[Nabeelyousaf]

The cookies.txt file needs to be in the same directory as where you run the script from

ok got it ,

[Nabeelyousaf]

hey @neon-ninja can you give me some detail on why I m getting this error and how I can solve it

[neon-ninja]

Make sure your cookies.txt includes those cookies (with the names c_user and xs)

[sahullander]

For those trying to figure out the cookie.txt information without install extensions: 1) Login to facebook. 2) Once logged in, right click anywehere on the page and select "Inspect". 3) At the top pf the developer panel, select the "Application" tab. 4) On the left side of the developer panel, find the "Storage" section and and expand the "Cookies" item (this should show the facebook URL once expanded). 5) Copy each "Name" and "Value" item into "cookies.txt" in a JSON format and save "cookies.txt".

Example "cookies.txt": { "xs" : "val1", "wd" : "val2", "usida" : "val3", "sb" : "val4", "presence" : "val5", "locale" : "val6", "fr" : "val7", "dpr" : "val8", "datr" : "val9", "c_user" : "val9" } NOTE The "Name" values are just an example and all of these may not be needed in order to run the tool.
