How to access Data from posts in FB pages

I have a requirement of getting data, to be specific, images from posts on those public pages in FB. I registered an app on Facebook and tried to access the page data it says:

To use 'Page Public Content Access', your use of this endpoint must be reviewed and approved by Facebook. To submit this 'Page Public Content Access' feature for review please read our documentation on reviewable features: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/review.

Can I use some scraping library and do it on a daily basis? Please guide.

What procedure should I follow to get this thing done?

In order to get data from Pages you don´t own, you have to submit your App to Facebook. They need to approve Page Public Content Access first. You can only test it with Pages you manage, and you need to use a Page Token of those Pages for it.

There is no other way, scraping is not allowed on Facebook.
