A simple library/CLI for getting all posts from a given Facebook Page.

Command-line usage
Installing fbpagefeed gives you the fbpagefeed command-line tool. Use it like so:
fbpagefeed {facebook-page-id} [--my-param x] [--my-other-param y] > my-output.csv... where the keyword params correspond to the optional parameters in Facebook's Graph API. (See "Default params" below.) For example:
fbpagefeed 91414372270 --since 2017-03-01 --until 2017-03-02 > my-output.csvYou can also use the page's spelled-out ID:
fbpagefeed BuzzFeedNews --since 2017-03-01 --until 2017-03-02 > my-output.csvYou can supply your FB access token one of three ways:
- Passing it to the
--access_tokenflag - Setting it as the
FB_ACCESS_TOKENenvironment variable - Waiting for
fbpagefeedto prompt you to enter it
