List index out of range

[CodedNil]

I have followed the github documenation and nothing more to get posts, and I am encountering this error:

File "\facebook_page_scraper-4.0.1-py3.11.egg\facebook_page_scraper\element_finder.py", line 374, in __accept_cookies button[-1].click()

IndexError: list index out of range

With firefox as the browser.

[AguilarTech]

Not yet, still havent resolved

I think that popup doesn't appears in every country. That's the very reason it can't find and throw that error. I think it was resolved in #41. I merged that change however haven't updated on PyPi. If you're relying on PyPi than it's not updated yet, you might consider using the source from master branch. @kareemrasheed89 please let me know if you're still facing the same issue with the master branch

Am getting this error now... after install from source implementation

[shaikhsajid1111]

This issue doesn't comes under list index error but the posts itself wasn't found. Have you tried setting headless=True?, You might get some idea about the issue when you run in headful mode

[mikecarey134]

I was able to get this working by downloading repo zip and dropping facebook_page_scraper directory into my project so it uses the latest code in the library.

[kareemrasheed89]

The headless is actually set to True

[kareemrasheed89]

Mehn it worked.

Thanks so much

[ZamudioSosaAlejandro]

kareemrasheed89, what worked for you to fix the problem?

I set the headless to True. Also from the first problem, I installed the library from source not from pipy. I use git clone to install from this github repo

@shaikhsajid1111 I just realize the script couldnt bypass login again, I have done one scraping of a facebook group but it couldnt iterate other facebook group;

It started showing this error again.

What could be the problem

[shaikhsajid1111]

If it can't bypass the login page you might consider using a logged-in account but also be aware that it might get blocked. For logged-in, you can pass browser_profile to the Facebook_scraper

[kareemrasheed89]

Can I see an example of browser profile pls???

This will help you get your browserprofile for Firefox. And you can pass it to Facebook_scraper like Facebook_scraper(browser_profile="YOUR BROWSER PROFILE PATH"), pass other arguments as well along with it

[kareemrasheed89]

Thank you
