@mikerubini I am not trying to say you're being dishonest. It's just unclear what's going on here, and you haven't actually said what you're doing behind the scenes to access the data, and I—and most people—would want to be certain they are in the clear and above board. Even though the API used to be wide open and is now behind an approval process, my company has access to them, so I know that they allow access.

@mikerubini Not true, but you are confirming my suspicions that you're scraping the group by your statement. To do this correctly, you can use the graph API, but you have to get your app authorized by Facebook. Here's the docs: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v5.0/group/feed

Why does it take 1-3 days to begin monitoring? What are you doing on the backend? My gut says you are using a private personal account to join the group, and then pulling in the posts via the Graph API authenticated as that user, which is against Facebooks TOS—so I hope not. Since there is no Facebook auth, this is further reinforcing the idea... Again, I hope not.
