Hi guys, im trying to work with a proxy. And i get this error: TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'proxy'

my setting:

page_name = "FacebookAI"
posts_count = 25
browser = "chrome"
proxy = "proxyIP:9999" #if proxy requires authentication then user:password@IP:PORT
facebook_ai = Facebook_scraper(page_name,posts_count,browser,proxy=proxy)

Hello, I pasted exactly the same code and it is working. Can you provide more details? So, I can look into this properly. Like What version of Python, Environment you're on.

You're on version 0.1.9. Right?

yes im in bdist.macosx-10.9-x86_64

Sorry, I do not understand that version system because I usually work with linux and windows. I just meant to ask if this library is on the latest version 0.1.9, because proxy feature is available in the latest version only and you're facing similar issue.

Okay, you installed it from the source. This file is the one you should be looking on at line 43 the constructor should have the proxy, I'm currently unable to figure out what is really happening as I can't create the same issue on local machine. It may take time for me to resolve this issue, I apologise for that.
