Profile Scraper #183

Closed tahakorkmazTGA closed 3 years ago

I have made a profile scraper with same tools, but it's only been for the front page posts of the profile. After implementing the scrape for other pages and media links can we add this to the project.

Thanks

This tool works for posts made by user profiles already

wait really? i couldn't manage to make it work and developed it myself though mine wasn't this complex

Yes, you just need to pass cookies generally. For example, the code:

posts = list(get_posts("joe.trinder", pages=10, cookies="cookies.txt"))
print(len(posts))

returns

100

Yes, in Netscape format. See https://github.com/kevinzg/facebook-scraper/issues/28#issuecomment-793066983
