Updated guidance needed for querying /post/:id for Facebook posts #48

@hartsick

Description

@hartsick

The /post/:id docs currently read as follows (emphasis mine):

Please also note that the ID format for Facebook and Instagram are different. For Instagram, it's [post_id][page_id], while for Facebook, it's [page_id][post_id]. While Page and Post IDs can be found in Facebook post URLs, Instagram does not expose the IDs in its URLs. You can pull the necessary Instagram IDs from our API.

Because of recent changes to Facebook's URL structure to obscure post IDs, I'm finding it no longer possible to retrieve the post ID to use with the Crowdtangle API for Facebook posts. Is there updated guidance that could be given? This change effectively ended our ability to use Crowdtangle.
