Facepager was made for fetching public available data from YouTube, Twitter and other websites on the basis of APIs and webscraping. All data is stored in a SQLite database and may be exported to csv.

Installer

Installation packages for each version are available on the releases page. Database files may be incompatible between versions.

• Windows: Download and execute the latest exe-installer from the releases page. If Windows complains about an unknown publisher and refuses to launch the app click "More info" and start anyway.

• Mac OS X: Download and install the latest package from the releases page. Your computer will complain that it can't install the package. Ctrl+Click on the installer icon to bypass the complaint, see https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac for further information.
  Older versions of Facepager were distributed in zip files and not code signed. Download and unzip the file from the releases page, drag & drop the app to your "Applications" folder. Next, you need to disable the download flag. Open the terminal, go to the folder where Facepager is stored (e.g. cd /Applications) and use xattr -cr Facepager.app to remove the download flag. Then open the app using ctrl-click.

• Linux: There is no binary release, see src/readme.md for steps to run under linux.

If you want to run from source, see src/readme.md.
