How do I create an RSS feed of a Facebook group? I see there's sites you can pay, but how do I go about doing it myself? Do they actually scrape the content, or does Facebook actually provide some way to get the information?

UPDATE September 14th 2018: There is no public option to do that anymore. Only apps that get manually reviewed and approved by Facebook would be able to, and that effectively shuts down most if not all of them.

Facebook doesn't provide feeds for groups, however there are services that use the Facebook API to create RSS feeds. These are two of them that I found:
