pioscraper v1.0.2

Scrape Facebook posts and links

A basic library for scraping Facebook post texts and referencing links

Special Feature

Facebook uses dynamic loading contents which are hard to scrape using most existing scraping tools; Pioscraper is an exception to this and allows the user to dynamically load as many posts as needed and have them scraped.

Running the appilcation

From node library collection

1. Install Node.js in your system if not installed yet.
2. Install pioscrper using

npm i pioscraper

3. Create a new file "script.js" in the same directory and copy-paste this repo's "script.js" code into that.
4. Edit the code using your own Facebook email,password,desired page/profile link and number of posts you wanna scrape.
5. Run "script.js" using

node script.js

Warning

While scraping publicly available data sounds legal, Facebook has strict policies against web scraping, unethical use of the tool, therefore, is strongly discouraged.
