Port to run in python 3.x, use OA token. Change urllib, change how csv is written to. Facebook API works with OA Tokens more readily than app_id + app_secret, so use it instead.

minimaxir commented 7 years ago

The use of the App ID + App Secret instead of OAuth is an intentional design decision. (easier to set up for non-technical people and does not expire after an hour)

Other than that, there is already a Python 3.5 script in the repo.

Rather, there isn't a script for the group version, but I would prefer to keep the Python 3.5 versions as parallel as possible.
