All Facebook group scrapes (that I've tried, e.g. 22137638452 and ACTWP) fail with

snscrape.base.ScraperException: Code container ID marker not found (does the group exist?)

This is due to Facebook rolling out their new design on group pages.

Indeed, this broke again. It looks like Facebook removed the old design from that alternative domain, which was only a matter of time of course.

Any idea if there is a workaround for this error?
