Facebook Scraping, Data Privacy, Future Roadmap #5

Open dragosrotaru opened 4 years ago

As it stands:

I will run the scrapers daily on my computer using my login credentials.
Not all data scraped will be public. Processing scripts will produce publishable data that I will upload to the repo in JSON format for the front-end to use. This is v0.1 of our API.
The original scraped data will be stored on my machine until we have cloud infra in place.
Collaborators can get access to the full dataset by asking for it.

Scraping will be phased out by:

getting Public Group API access via FB Dev App program
getting Group Admins to "claim" their Facebook page on our site by authorizing our app.

If you have any concerns with Data Privacy or any ideas about how we can approach this speak up please :)
