Sale post API
Facebook groups have a specific feature - Sale Post that allows to post items for sale. What about filtering returned items so we only get for sale posts or even how to check if the post is a for sale post or not in a Group? Thanks
Happy to take a PR that adds exporting sale posts (if they're not already exported) but not interested in adding support for filtering. You can get a JSON version of your posts which is easy enough to filter.
Yes, the sale posts are exported but along with all other posts in a group. What I mean is to add an API call to check if the posts are sale posts and then export them accordingly to JSON using your script.. .
As I can see, a sale post is almost identical to a standard post (except for the embedded price and location info), so there is not much for identifying a sale post on Facebook API.

You can only know why in the permalink url comes out sale_post_id but nothing else.
Is there a better way besides checking the permalink and parsing it yourself?
