scraping using group parameter doesn't do anything

See original GitHub issue

Hi, I’m trying to scrape public group posts but seems like it doesn’t do anything. When run the script just ends instantly without scraping any posts. Is this a bug or I’m doing something wrong?

from facebook_scraper import get_posts

def scrape_facebook_group():
    posts = get_posts(group='412046226382771')

    for post in posts:
        print(post)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    scrape_facebook_group()
