From the public pages I've tried, it only | intermittently works on at most half of them. | | I don't blame them for not maintaining it though. I grabbed the | code to see if I could get it working and realized Facebook has | made their newer pages fiendishly difficult to scrape. Assuming | one does put in the effort to make it work, how long will it last | till it's broken again? | | I wish there was a viable alternative platform for organizations | where "public" content is actually accessible publicly. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-01-02 23:00 UTC)
