[Enhancement] Facebook ripper development #13

Open lukepayne opened 7 years ago

lukepayne commented 7 years ago

I am developing a Facebook ripper, and it's currently in the early functional stage. Further details will be posted here later.

What does it do ?

lukepayne commented 7 years ago

@rautamiekka it rips photo albums from Facebook pages

Does it require the user to be logged-in? Feel free to share an early pull request even if it's not ready to merge.

lukepayne commented 7 years ago

It requires an access token, which there are a few ways to generate. The easiest way without inbuilt authentication support, is to create an app using the Facebook developer page and get the token from there.

I want to use the official Facebook API, but found that they have removed the ability to view friends photos, so at the moment the ripper only works on pages. Adding in the ability to rip friends photos will be quite different and more complex. I haven't started on this.

Also, What if someone isn't your friend and they have photos public? Will the ripper work?

lukepayne commented 7 years ago

@tehloxely Eventually, yes. At the moment the ripper will only do Pages.

Is there any update on development for ripping public Facebook profiles?
