No posts found?

I'm trying to get an RSS feed of the Animax Asia Facebook page. But for some reason it's saying no posts.

[irfancharania]

The example urls still work just fine. For some reason, the lxml parser is unable to parse the Animax Asia page. I'm not sure why... there may be some character there that is throwing it off? I suspect once the offending post is out of the main page, then it will start working again...

@irfancharania, is this issue fixed now?

[irfancharania]

I haven't come across it again... so closing it

Hey,

I'm experiencing it with every single page. @irfancharania do you still use the script?

Cheers!

[irfancharania]

I'm still using it, and it works for both the examples on the main page. This app only works for publicly available pages. Are you sure the pages you're supplying are posting publicly?

[eniac111]

Yes, I am sure, strange. Anyway, I have found a similar php script which is working. The parsing part is boring :)

Regards

Hi same problem here

... and it works for both the examples on the main page.

For me it doesnt, same error

...Are you sure the pages you're supplying are posting publicly?

Yes, 100% sure. Tried with many different pages

1. Could you please add one or two lines more to the README.md page ?

Right now, it's very terse, it doesnt say much.

• About requirements (yes I know about requirements.txt)
• how to start it
• the status of the project
• caveats ?
• where/when it works, when not (facebook restrictions)

I want to make sure I did the right thing about cloning it, and starting it.

2. Any suggestions how to help you help us solve this problem ?

The only thing I could come up with is the log, but doesnt say anything suspicious

What url are you trying?

To deploy the application, you would click the heroku button, and go through the wizard and at the end it tells you the app url. You proceed to the url, put in the user/page name and it should generate the atom feed.

When I just tried, it failed initially because of outdated dependencies with security issues. I updated the dependencies and tried again, it deploys and works for me for the example sites...

You've got the correct url in your log... do you see any posts when you go to FB page directly? https://mbasic.facebook.com/IslandFarmFresh/

I haven't added any logging to the app...

Hello, the generator does not seem to work with the following users: IslandFarmFresh elysee.fr While, https://mbasic.facebook.com/elysee.fr https://mbasic.facebook.com/IslandFarmFresh Returns a result

[irfancharania]

I just created a new Heroku app using the deploy button on the main page, and checked both IslandFarmFresh and elysee.fr. Both come up with posts for me...

Hello, seems like the problem is on Facebook's side, I tried to return the FB page back to the app and it's just a login page. Tried switching user agents, not working so far.

It does not work for me either. I think that the problem is that you need to by pass the cookies requirement.
