Usage

1. First you need to create a Facebook Developer account. You can register with your regular facebook account in this page.
2. Create a new Facebook app (https://developers.facebook.com/apps/)
3. Go to this page and scroll down until you find your newly created app. Copy the "User Token" or "App Token" values to the clipboard.
4. Use the copied value as the "--acess-token" option in the tool.

Example:

fbpaldl -p "<pageid>" --access-token="<your-app-access-token"> --output="<where-to-save-your-photos>"

You can get the pageid, from the page "url"- "https://www.facebook.com/[pageid]"

You can also specify, the "--album" flag with an album id to download a specific album. If the album option is specified, all the photos will be downloaded to the specified "output dir". Otherwise, when downloading multiple albums, a folder with the "Album name" will be created inside your output dir.
