Connect to Facebook Graph API, get information from a list of public Facebook items and build a FacebookGenericCollection-class

FacebookGenericCollection(id, token, parameters = list(),
fields = character(0), .progress = create_progress_bar(),
metadata = FALSE)A character vector or a comma-delimited string of IDs or an existing Facebook Collection of any of the supported types (see below).
Either a temporary access token created at

slow down the execution time, as more queries are needed.
