@psegovias I've faced exactly the same problem. Have you succeded in solving it?

Upd.: In function parse_page in fbcrawler change row
for post in response.xpath("//div[contains(@data-ft,'top_level_post_id')]"):
to
for post in response.xpath("//article[contains(@data-ft,'top_level_post_id')]"):

Had the same issue, the fix above worked for me.

[natsinger]

are you scraping only public pages, or also private pages you are a member of? cause for the later it doesn't work
