Get full date format #6

Open VinsRepos opened 4 years ago

VinsRepos commented 4 years ago

I'm trying to get a full date format from the posts so that I can order the posts temporally easier, the date is in a 'abbr' element that only shows how much time has passed. I have seen by inspecting the page that the full date format is in the 'title' tag of the 'abbr', unfortunately the method that returns the html doesn't show any tags. There is any method to get these tags?

I'm afraid I haven't found a timestamp in the version of Facebook that I use to extract the posts that indicate the full date and time. I will keep checking alternatives.

Is the mobile version of Facebook that doesn't show the full date format, I'll try to adapt the scraper to the normal version.
