Scrapping without being logged in #48

Closed krasnoludkolo closed 3 months ago

krasnoludkolo commented 3 months ago

Hello, Is this possible to scrap posts from given page without being logged (via cookies)?

I tried basic example 

posts = get_posts('NintendoAmerica', base_url="https://mbasic.facebook.com", start_url="https://mbasic.facebook.com/NintendoAmerica?v=timeline", pages=10)

for post in posts:
    print(post['text'][:50])

but I got no results.

I do think that the get_posts is not working right now. Awaiting feedback from repo maintainer.

@krasnoludkolo @lullu57 you can't scrape without being logged in anymore when using this repo. i moved to using the mbasic version exclusively and it needs you to be logged in to view anything.

here is another repo you can try to use to scrape without being logged in : https://github.com/shaikhsajid1111/facebook_page_scraper
