This tool tracks the number of online friends a user has on Facebook at any given time.
Project description
Track the number of online friends you have on Facebook at any given time!
Prerequisites
To be able to use this tool, you will need to point have a Facebook account, an Excel sheet (.xlsx), and a server (or computer) that can run a cron job / scheduled task.
Dependencies
This tool uses Selenium to scrape the data and Openpyxl to store the data in an Excel sheet.
How to Setup
Install from pip by running: pip install facebook-online-friend-tracker
Setup a cron job to run the tool at a certain frequency. (I used 15 minute intervals).
The command to run the tool is: facebook-online-friend-tracker --user 'example@example.com' --pass 'your_password' --path 'path/to/spreadsheet.xlsx'
After a certain amount of time, you will be able to analyze the trend in the Excel sheet you specified. (I waited 2 full weeks before analyzing the data and finding the best time to post on Facebook.)
