Hi, so I post around 30 facebook market place ads a month, its a super tideious task and could easily be done by a computer. The issue is, is that facebook has such a weird structure when I inspect elements. the image attached is a example of it, the class names are this weird code, and I cant find any names, ids, on these elements to give to Selenium. at the moment I use py auto GUI + selenium to click around the web page, but this is super hard coded and doesn’t work all the time. so please let me know what you guys recommend

    yeah i understand your point completely, and it makes sense why they made it so hard. Thing is that I genuinely post this many ads for my furniture business and all of them are legit. it just sucks cause its so time consuming

      Why not buy Facebook advertising space then? Users looking for furniture on fb marketplace are typically looking for cheap used furniture and occasionally the weird antique to refurbish
