I'm getting the same and am wondering if it is because "Access to certain types of API data is paused for non-active accounts due to changes we are making to the Facebook Platform" It looks like that just started 20 hours ago...

Hey, thanks for your great script! Unfortunately I am getting the same error. Does anyone know a fix, yet?
"HTTP Error 403: Forbidden Error for URL https://graph.facebook.com/v2.9/cnn/posts/?limit=100&access_token=censored&fields=message,link,created_time,type,name,id,comments.limit(0).summary(true),shares,reactions.limit(0).summary(true): 2018-03-23 21:36:03.373614 Retrying."
EDIT: Just read @bethke s link. But what do they mean with non-active accounts? When is my account classified as non-active?
This is something apparently related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Facebook temporarily blocks API access to some data to avoid such leaks. I think all we have to do is be patient...
@marwann Thanks, man.
Does anyone have an update on this or know how long Facebook may block API access? I am asking because I need Facebook user post data in order to write my MA thesis.
Works again for me @rlorenz123 - Do you have an old app token that you could try and use?
same error comes when you use "user access token" of profile, not of any app. Seems like all old apps are blocked for accessing any data!
No, unfortunately, I do not have an old app token to use because I just got started a couple of weeks ago.
Yes, new ones are also blocked currently. Only a few which are manually approved by FB are working. I wish if I had any approved one!
Hi. I am also getting the same error, ie "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden".
I only started today, so I don't have an old or any approved token. Any suggestions on what I can do?
the code still works, but you need to make some changes
access_token = app_id + "|" + app_secret
access_token = "<YOUR TOKEN VALUE>"
Thank you so much, that worked flawlessly!
Could it be that it isn't possible to scrape links anymore? I tried this updated version and I'm only getting the postings that are videos, pictures and regular status updates, but no more links for posts from early 2017.
@mw0000 this works but the key expires in an hour and I am unable to get all the comments from a page.
Hey guys! Is someone scraping facebook pages feed posts? Why am I getting not all posts returned? Am I doing it wrong, or it is not possible to get all the feed posts of a specific page? Please help, I am writing my Bachelor Thesis on that, and getting just 5-10% of the pages' posts is really getting me nervous!
Why am I getting this?
