Func get_posts returns nothing

Here is my code (same as one on the main page of this repo):

from facebook_scraper import get_posts
for post in get_posts('nintendo', cookies="/Users/beatrisu/Desktop/twi/1.txt"):
print(post['text'][:50])

output:
(gg) beatrisu@Savelijs-MacBook-Air twi % /Users/beatrisu/Desktop/twi/gg/bin/pyth
on /Users/beatrisu/Desktop/twi/scrap.py
/Users/beatrisu/Desktop/twi/gg/lib/python3.9/site-packages/facebook_scraper/facebook_scraper.py:912: UserWarning: Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'
warnings.warn(f"Facebook says 'Unsupported Browser'")

get_group_info and get_profile are working ok but with some warnings.

Having the same issue suddenly today. Can't get something simple like the example code you're using to work either

Answer 2 · 2024-05-02T06:07:01.000Z

Also I got my facebook account blocked. It asks my id now

Answer 3 · 2024-05-06T06:51:26.000Z

I had the same issue, I think this tool is no longer usable

I agree.

Answer 5 · 2024-05-16T20:16:01.000Z

I too faced the same issue

Answer 6 · 2024-05-16T22:00:32.000Z

So, I guess, sadly, this tool isn't usable for now?

Answer 7 · 2024-05-29T05:24:45.000Z

I'm also experiencing the same.

Answer 8 · 2024-05-29T08:56:33.000Z

oh shoot. figured out the entire configuration finally, just to bump into the same problem -- results ARE being returned, but the fields are just none (all but the username). Anyone got any way forward? I need specifically get_profile.

Answer 9 · 2024-05-31T17:30:01.000Z

I used this code it was written via ai maybe facebook scraper selenium will help but what happened to dude yup

from facebook_scraper import get_posts

Initialize a list to store the first two posts

first_two_posts = []

Iterate over the posts and append the first two to the list

for post in get_posts('BigQuax', cookies="exported-cookies.json",pages=2):
first_two_posts.append(post)

Print the first two posts

for post in first_two_posts:
print(post)

has anyone reached any solution or found a good library to scrabe facebook other than this library I really need any solution for my project

Answer 12 · 2024-06-12T10:02:46.000Z

@AbdElrahmanMostafaRifaat1432 yeah, i forked this repo and it's working correctly here : https://github.com/moda20/facebook-scraper

i also forked a second repo that scrapes fb without logins, this one does less but is good enough : https://github.com/moda20/facebook_page_scraper

Note: these repos are for personal use and will certainally lead to rate limiting and banning your account even is you use them too much

Thanks, i will need to pull like once or twice a week will this be possible with this repo?

Answer 14 · 2024-06-12T20:00:55.000Z

@MadsMMP yes, it should suffice for that but don't pull more than a hundred at a time, you will get blocked by fb for sure

Answer 15 · 2024-06-12T20:04:43.000Z

@moda20
can you explain how to control that using parameters please
or which parameters to use to make sure I don't exceed 100

because I see alot of parameters that I cannot understand like pages and posts per pages
