What's this?

The project can help us collect the data from Facebook's public Fanspage / group. Here are the three big points of this project:

1. You don't need to log in to your account.
2. Easy: Just key in the Fanspage/group URL and the target date(to break the while loop).
3. Efficient: It collects the data through the requests package directly instead of Selenium.

這個專案可以幫我們從 Facebook 公開的的粉絲頁和公開社團收集資料。以下是本專案的 3 個重點:

1. 不需登入: 不需要帳號密碼因此也不用擔心被鎖定帳號
2. 簡單: 僅需要粉絲頁/社團的網址和停止的日期(用來跳脫迴圈)
3. 高效: 透過 request 直接向伺服器請求資料，不需通過 Selenium

FAQ

• Could you please release the function that can collect comments content instead of only the number of comments? Please write an E-mail to me and tell me your project goal, thanks!

• How can I find out the post's link through the data?

  You can add the string 'https://www.facebook.com' in front of the POSTID, and it's just its post link. So, for example, if the POSTID is 123456789, and its link is 'https://www.facebook.com/12345679'.

• Can I directly collect the data in the specific time period?

  Nope! It's related to Facebook's website framework. You need to collect the data from the newest post to the older post.
