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...

That was an amazing read!!!! I’ve been on/off doing online marketing for many years but just recently got a bug to get back into programming (to program raspberry pi with my son). I figured the best way to learn is to dive right in to making bots and maybe earn a couple dollars to buy more...

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...

Thanks, I've tried it before and receive the error "Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//div[contains(@Class, '_1mf _1mj')]"}" I'm trying to get the text box that would let me type in text to be able to post to my page. It seems facebook has code...

I'm just learning python and have hit a roadblock I can't seem to get past. If you have a free minute would you be able to PM me (or post here if against the rules) and help me? I just need helping figuring out the right xpath/css selector to use for webdriver to select a specific field. The...

Good day, I have a little background in other programming and decided to learn python. I figure the best way is to just jump ight in and build a script that does something I want. Anyways, I have the script scrapping data from a source I want to post onto one of my facebook pages. Rather...
