I was able to post on Facebook some days ago with selenium(python)

I could find post textBox with this below method

driver.find_element_by_xpath("//textarea[@name='xhpc_message']")

but it seems Facebook has made some changes recently so it's not working
anymore. and I am not even able to post any link with *https* or *www* anymore
with

element.send_keys("https://.....");

I have tested manually It's working but not with selenium(python)

so any way to work around it, any help

Accessing and collecting data from Facebook using automation is against
their Terms of Service so I doubt anyone can help you with this.
