Thank you for this, I modified it to be able to grab "all" posts/comments/likes from groups... and store them in an sqlite3 DB (because there is just too many rows for a spread sheet): https://github.com/slxh/facebook-scraper

Facebook does not like their pages to be scraped. So I was a bit surprised by you title.

But actually you are using the Graph API as intended to collect posts. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing unusual either.
