Sorry for the really late reply...

Add a space between '2018-03-08 15:00:00' and -r

also got the problem... only I didn't add optional arguments.

it's really weird. I can run my program on different machines with Linux OS. And all the bugs are related to Windows. Maybe I have to take a look about what's the difference when Python runs on Linux and Windows.

BTW, could you provide steps to reproduce this bug?

[Hazelnuta]

Basically I follow the instructions to install the module
python setup.py develop
then I user the command line as the format
facebook_page_crawler $app_id $app_secret $targets $since $until
as
C:\Users\lenovo>facebook_page_crawler '447515165673811' 'aa6143ed2177935f4036268d6e607a88' 'appledaily.tw' '2016-09-01 00:00:00' '2016-09-01 23:59:59'
without any optional arguments
And it keeps reporting the error about the last argument $until
I've checked that the libs required have been installed and the py version is correct
Don't know why

I just try to run on Windows 10 with following steps:

1. Install Python 3.6.5(I didn't install any version of Python on my Windows machine)
2. Download the zip of this repository and unzip it
3. Open PowerShell and cd to the unzipped folder
4. Use venv module to create a clean environment and active the venv
5. Install dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt(maybe not necessary because of next step)
6. Run python setup.py develop to install dependencies and this crawler
7. Run command facebook_page_crawler $APP_ID $APP_SECRET 'appledaily.tw' '2016-09-01 00:00:00' '2016-09-01 23:59:59'

The result(check the second execution):

Which version of Windows and Python are you using?
