I want to scrape comments, likes and posts for a Facebook page that I'm an Analyst in (I'm not the admin, I've been given the 'Analyst' role).
I'm using the code in https://github.com/minimaxir/facebook-page-post-scraper to scrape comments.
Apparantely, you can get likes, posts and reactions but you cannot retrieve the comments of a Facebook page without a Page Access Token.
so I went ahead and looked at the popular answer in the link facebook: permanent Page Access Token?
Not sure if this used to be the case before, but if you follow the instructions in Step 1, substep 4, In the pop-up, under the "Extended Permissions" tab, check "manage_pages".
For this to work, it is asking me to submit a request with many checkboxes asking me the purpose of needing this permission, and along with this, it is not letting me send a request review without having Privacy Policy URLs, App icons, User Guidelines and a VIDEO showing how this App will be used.. I literally just want to scrape comments from my own Facebook page where I'm been given an Analyst role that has lesser privileges than Administrator, and for this I was asked to create an App for it and set Native or desktop app?
to No
to ensure I don't get a Bad Request
when I run my code.
I'd love it if you could give me any help in this direction.. I want a solution to how I could get Extended Permissions or follow the steps in the popular answer, or simply get Page Access Token without having to set Privacy Policy Guidelines, an App icon and a video showing a demonstration of something I can't understand.
