Hi, I have the same question about how to set up a proxy. And another question, how much items could it get?

If the proxy requires a username and password: proxy should be formatted something like this <username>:<password>@<IP>:<PORT>

If it does not require authentication, you can use them in the format like this <IP>:<PORT>

When you instantiate Facebook_scraper, that's where you pass the proxy argument.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Does It means if I still want to use this project to get data from Facebook, I need to get the proxy argument first? Good to know!
