Bug#915373: RFP: Ultimate-Facebook-Scraper — A bot which scrapes almost everything about a facebook user's profile
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Upstream Dev: https://github.com/harismuneer/Ultimate-Facebook-Scraper
Description:
A bot which scrapes almost everything about a facebook user's profile including uploaded photos, tagged photos, videos, friends list and their profile photos (including Followers, Following, Work Friends, College Friends etc) and all public posts/statuses available on the user's timeline.
The best thing about this scraper is that the data is scraped in an organized format so that it can be used for educational/research purpose by researchers. Moreover, this scraper does not use Facebook's Graph API so there are no rate limiting issues as such.
Programming Language: Python3
License: MIT license (2018)
Comment: I think we need more archiving and research tools like these in the debian repositories.
