    GraphAPIError: (#200) If posting to a group, requires app being installed in the group, and \
    either publish_to_groups permission with user token, or both pages_read_engagement \
    and pages_manage_posts permission with page token; If posting to a page, \
    requires both pages_read_engagement and pages_manage_posts as an admin with \
    sufficient administrative permission

    It doesn't work, that facebook app needs to be installed on that particular group to allow API posting on it
