Hi @moda20,

First, thank you for fixing the issues with facebook-scraper. It seems the mbasic URL is no longer working. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks a lot!

I am facing the same issue. Currently the URL is redirected to m.facebook.com on any browser I tried.

@jiahaoChen I don't have any idea how to get the mbasic site back, it seems facebook has sunset it completely. It might be possible to force it back using certain headers, or certain mobile carriers via VPN access (some search needed there), but we should probably find a way to use the new layout if this repo is to continue.

It seems to be rolled out currently to different accounts - on some I am able to still use the mbasic URL, on other's I'm redirected to https://mbasic.facebook.com/help/1570260493519783/. According to Meta themselves, mbasic will not be available at all after 3rd of December.
