Scraping comments? #14

Open wjkowalski opened 4 years ago

wjkowalski commented 4 years ago

Would it be possible to scrape comments from a page? What I'm hoping for ideally is something that will allow me to scrape comments from most recent posts, compare the text of those comments to a list of keywords, and if one of those keywords is found, delete the comment. This is to be used to fight trolls and people making racist comments on a public group that has been dealing with this a lot lately.

Hi @wjkowalski ,

If it's your page (I assume it as you'd like to remove some comments), I'd recommend using an API. That would be easier for you (anyway, deleting comments would only possible programmatically via API).
