Your request couldn't be processed

I'm using the latest code from the master branch and getting the following error. I've also included the code to reproduce this.

Here's my error:

sys:1: UserWarning: A low page limit (<=2) might return no results, try increasing the limit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/storage/Dropbox/Apps/Instamemes/instameme.py", line 35, in <module>
    for post in get_posts(pageID, pages=1, cookies='/mnt/storage/Dropbox/Apps/Instamemes/cookies.txt'):
  File "/home/tim/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/facebook_scraper/facebook_scraper.py", line 1114, in _generic_get_posts
    for i, page in zip(counter, iter_pages_fn()):
  File "/home/tim/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/facebook_scraper/page_iterators.py", line 87, in generic_iter_pages
    response = request_fn(next_url)
  File "/home/tim/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/facebook_scraper/facebook_scraper.py", line 927, in get
    raise exceptions.UnexpectedResponse("Your request couldn't be processed")
facebook_scraper.exceptions.UnexpectedResponse: Your request couldn't be processed

And here is my code:

import json
import time
from facebook_scraper import get_posts, set_user_agent
set_user_agent("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36")
pages = [
  '205332729555617'
  ,'195392310760'
]
for pageID in pages:
  for post in get_posts(pageID, pages=1, cookies='/mnt/storage/Dropbox/Apps/Instamemes/cookies.txt'):
    print(json.dumps(post, indent=4, sort_keys=True, default=str))
  # avoid getting banned
  time.sleep( 2 )

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try without set_user_agent and/or import json.

import time from facebook_scraper import get_posts, set_user_agent pages = [ '205332729555617' ,'195392310760' ] for pageID in pages: for post in get_posts(pageID, pages=1, cookies='/mnt/storage/Dropbox/Apps/Instamemes/cookies.txt'):

You can print values like this

print('POST_ID: ' + str(post['post_id'])) print('URL: ' + str(post['post_url'])) print('LIKES: ' + postlikes) print('LINK: ' + str(post['link'])) time.sleep( 2 )

Thanks @lgjluis - Unfortunately it's not printing anything. I'm just getting the following:

/home/tim/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/facebook_scraper/facebook_scraper.py:912: UserWarning: Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'
  warnings.warn(f"Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'")
sys:1: UserWarning: A low page limit (<=2) might return no results, try increasing the limit

Hi Tim;

Can you send me your code? I'll check where the error is. My email lgjluis@gmail.com.

[timsayshey]

@lgjluis - I'd be happy to send you my code but already provided it. I'd just be sending you what I pasted up above. And the error I just posted was what I got after running the code you provided. The only thing I haven't posted is my cookies file.

see #858 the fix that did it for me was installing version 0.2.59: "pip install facebook-scraper==0.2.59"

[timsayshey]

@TRStrange Does my code work for you? Because I tried 0.2.59 and I'm getting the same issue.

I updated my cookie.txt file as Well, but I have a slightly different configuration than you (no user agent setup)
