Problems with Facebook on public RSS-Bridge instances

[em92]

Due to many recent You must be logged in to view this page. This is not supported by RSS-Bridge issues coming from Facebook users (#2041, comments from #2014, #2037) I investigated those issues more clearly.

If I open "https://www.facebook.com/facebook/posts" from my home laptop, everything is fine posts are returned.
If I open "https://www.facebook.com/facebook/posts" from my public instance (https://feed.eugenemolotov.ru), it will return redirect to login page.

Looks like FacebookBridge has the same problems as InstagramBridge (#1891), which breaks using FacebookBridge on public RSS-Bridge instances.

Possible solutions for users (same as in metioned InstagramBridge):

• Deploy RSS-Bridge on your personal PC or laptop and use FacebookBridge from there.
• Deploy RSS-Bridge on your VPS, make sure that only certain people use it and use FacebookBridge from there.

Thank you very much for investigating. I'm using shared hosting for mine and it's folder protected so only I have access, but it probably just checks the IP and since it's shared hosting, it's heavily used. May have to pay for a private IP in that case.

I installed it on my vps (Infomaniak, Switzerland) and I am the only one using it. Unfortunately it doesn't work either.
I tried to visit a Facebook page with Firefox and it automatically redirects me to the login page.

I'm running my single-user RSS Bridge instance on Digital Ocean, and feeds which were giving me error 500 since April 1st just started working again. Let's see for how long...

Edit: stopped working two hours later.

I am having exactly this problem for 1 week. Over 100 feeds created through Facebook main site bridge result in errors. I am using my personal laptop, so this cannot be the reason.
Yesterday, 3 feeds (out of the 100+) delivered lots of previous missed articles ; today, only 1 out of 100+ is working. Looks like it is random and erratic.
I am using them to deliver a daily news digest, it's been 1 week I cannot do it properly and need to check all sources 1 by 1. It is not efficient and time-consuming. What should I do?

Hi @em92 ,

If you remove the /posts part of the url then you don't get the login page show, even on a public instance.

eg

https://www.facebook.com/facebook/posts (redirect to login page)

https://www.facebook.com/facebook (no redirect, page content shown).

Did you try that?

@tstanbur I have the same problem than @Noutladeesse I dont understand how I can modify https://www.facebook.com/facebook/posts to https://www.facebook.com/facebook, I have an rss feed without facebook inside.

I have the same issue too!

I was just trying to help fix it, hopefully @em92 can (I think he's the author?)

@tstanbur understand, my english is too poor. :)

@cborne : @tstanbur a le même problème que nous bien que ses RSS feeds ne soient pas de feeds de Facebook, il demande si @em92 est l'auteur et s'il peut nous aider à résoudre le problème (je traduis !)

@Noutladeesse merci j'ai fini par comprendre par la suite, au départ je ne comprenais pas ce que faisaient les urls en facebook au milieu mais il s'agit d'une proposition de correction pour @em92. L'anglais c'est pas vraiment comme le vélo, quand tu le pratiques pas ça revient pas tout seul. :)

:-D
Oui c'est une proposition de correction, mais ça ne marche pas pour les feeds déjà créés.
