Hi,

I'm trying to also use the scraper for some pages and facing similar error problems, from hitting HTTP Error 400: Bad Request.

Here's one example:
page_id = TigerBeer.SG

When I try to access the full URL itself, I get this:
{
"error": {
"message": "Unsupported get request. Object with ID 'TigerBeer.SG' does not exist, cannot be loaded due to missing permissions, or does not support this operation. Please read the Graph API documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api",
"type": "GraphMethodException",
"code": 100,
"error_subcode": 33,
"fbtrace_id": "EKPM8lx5jXI"
}
}

This error is similar to some of the other pages I am trying to scrape. How do I determine what exactly is the reason behind not being able to scrape (i.e. missing permissions or does not support this operation)

Thank you!

Any solution ?

Not yet I believe, I"m still unable to trace to what is causing the error for mine

I think access_token might be expired. In my case, my facebook account was deactivated after few days to run this code.

I have the same mistake, ¿has someone solved it? (HTTP Error 400: Bad Request)

I had a similar problem when scraping groups and I found this on the Facebook Developers site: "As of April 4, 2018, this node and its edges return empty data sets for GET operations unless the calling app has gone through App Review. Please see the Groups API section of the Breaking Changes changelog for more information."
