Python Project Suggestions

lol, I've been trying just about every ID, class name, text, etc that I could find. I've spent 4+ hours with no luck. I think I'm going to take a different approach. I'm going to use a 3rd party site (like h@@tsuite) to handle the posting to the page and I'll just use python/selenium to post to that 3rd party site. That way facebook won't see the script, they'll just see the authorized 3rd party posting on my behalf. The 3rd party site may be easier to figure out too. lol

Appreciate your time.

Lol just use the facebook api with facebook-sdk python package:

install with "pip install facebook-sdk"

Go to go to facebook graph api explorer and click "Get Token" to get your access token for api

Then in python code:

from facebook import GraphAPI

ACCESS_TOKEN = (paste access token here)
api = GraphAPI(access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN, version='2.7')

r = api.put_wall_post('post text here')

That was the first way I tried because the API would be the safest approach. Facebook made changes to the API this year and I don’t believe this method works anymore.

I found a workaround that works and should keep me protected from Facebook detecting. I use web driver to post the content to a social media scheduling site and let that site handle posting to my FB page.
