It looks like sometime last year, Facebook started severely restricting its Graph API. I've tried different ways to scrape a public facebook page but always get the error: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request Has anyone successfully scraped a facebook page in recent months since the changes? Just to clarify: the page owner would be okay with me scraping the information. Some things I've tried: https://github.com/LorenzoMonti/facebook_page_group_comments https://nocodewebscraping.com/facebook-scraper/ https://www.sourcecon.com/how-to-scrape-data-from-facebook-pages/ https://onlinezhuanjia.com/python-facebook-page-scraper-tool/ I've seen some advice online that says you can create a facebook app and then have it approved within a week by fb. Is this possible for something like scraping posts and comments from a public facebook page? I went ahead and created an "app" on fb but don't really understand how to add code to scrape a page & how the approval process works. Any help or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
