Usage

1. Store your Facebook credentials safely

In your project folder, create a .env file and enter your Facebook page ID and access token, like this:

FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID = '1234567890' # replace with your own page ID
PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN = 'ABCDEFGHI' # replace with your own page access token

2. Load the credentials and create an instance of the class

In main.py, load the Facebook credentials and create an instance of the FacebookPoster class. Once you have an instance, you can use its methods to post content to the Facebook page. Use the following code:

import os
from facebook_manager import FacebookPoster
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

poster = FacebookPoster(os.getenv("FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID"), os.getenv("PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN")

poster.create_image_post("Post with mixed images!", ["path/to/local_img.jpg", "https://site.com/online_img.jpg"])
