Tools to help administer your Facebook groups

facebook-export

Export data from your Facebok groups.

Install

This program comes with two executables: facebook-export which handles downloading and saving your information from Facebook and facebook-analyze which provides several ways for you to inspect and analyze your data.

To install:

First install node.js.

Then run in your terminal:

npm install -g facebook-export

Export data from Facebook.

To access your data through the Facebook API, Facebook requires you to use an access token. This must be included when you run facebook-export. The easiest way I've found is to grab one from Facebook's API explorer https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer

There click on the "Get Access Token" button and make sure you check the "user_groups" data permission. Once you've approved this app, copy the long random alphanumeric Access Token. We'll use it next to export your Facebook data.

You need to know the Group ID of the group you wish to export data from. To see a list of all your groups and their Group IDs run:

facebook-export -a <YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN> -l

This should return a list something like:

FACEBOOK GROUPS
* The Vinyl Club [122351275176234206]
* The Stanford 2nd Ward [1881523481214555]
* Frisbee [1462342888234234]
* etc.

To export the information (posts and members) for one of these groups run:

facebook-export -a <ACCESS-TOKEN> -g <GROUP-ID> -d

The downloaded information will be saved in LevelDB DBs at ~/.facebook-export

Playing with your data

Once you've saved your information locally, you'll probably want to have a look at it. You'll use the facebook-analyze command for this.

To get a raw dump of the JSON encoded information from the API run:

facebook-analyze -g <GROUP-ID> -s

This will write all the group's posts to STDOUT.

You can filter posts by the year and month they were created in. E.g. to grab all posts from 2013 and save them to a file run:

facebook-analyze -g <GROUP-ID> -y 2013 -s >> posts_2013.json

I've also added a script which calculates an activity score for each member of the group. Members get points when they post/comment/like. To emphasize more recent activity, points have a 1/2 life of six months. Generate the activity chart by running:

facebook-analyze -g <GROUP-ID> -a

Facebook-export program error‏

I have tried to follow the steps recomended here https://www.npmjs.com/package/facebook-export, but after I install the node.js and run npm install -g facebook-export in cmd.exe, I get errors like the following ones.

Do you have any ideas regarding what could be the problem leading to this situation?
Cheers!

Using -d only downloads a couple recent posts

On my group, it only downloaded 3 posts:

$ facebook-export -a $FACEBOOK_TOKEN -g 123456789 -d

Exporting posts and members list for the group "Some Group"


fetched 3 posts. The oldest post fetched was last updated: Wednesday, October 22nd 2014, 8:14:11 pm
fetched 1 posts. The oldest post fetched was last updated: Monday, September 29th 2014, 7:00:15 pm
fetched 0 posts. The oldest post fetched was last updated: Tuesday, November 18th 2014, 7:26:10 pm

However, using -s 1 works for all posts:

$ facebook-export -a $FACEBOOK_TOKEN -g 123456789 -s 1

Exporting posts and members list for the group "Some Group"


fetched 88 posts. The oldest post fetched was last updated: Friday, June 14th 2013, 9:08:52 pm
fetched 94 posts. The oldest post fetched was last updated: Monday, December 17th 2012, 10:24:02 pm

et cetera...

Either the docs need to be updated or the -d option needs to be modified to download all posts.

If there's been a previous export, only export updates since the last export

The stdout data for likes and comments seems to be incomplete

first of all, thanks for the great work! Saved me tons of time.
I realized that the default setting doesn't result in complete data for the likes and comments, it will ask you to page through the likes and comments if the post's likes/comments exceeds a certain number. Please see the stack post for the work-around.

edit:
nvm, I just saw your comment in fetch_posts.coffee, please close this issue

only extract 25 groups & TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined error in facebook-export package

error log.txt

Hi Mathews,

it's fresh idea to download and save information from Facebook groups in such a method, nice project, but after trying several times, i got 2 points stuck, as beneath:

1. tried with 2 tokens, both with only 25 groups can be extracted, but essentially i have more than 100 groups that i'm in; what's the possible reasons?

2. i've tried several random groups(i'm in, but not administrated) with the command: facebook-export -a -g -d, but seems like all with the same error prompt, log as attached, any reason here?

Thank you a lot for taking the time to investigation.

user_groups does not exist in Facebook API

the only option I am seeing is user_managed_groups, but I want to grab all groups of which I am a member.

Only 25 likes by post are retrieved

I used
facebook-export -a XXX -g 164688833612008 -d

And I found that it retrieves data for only 25 likes by post, even if there were more.

As I understand to get more likes it should use paging.
Is it possible to add a such function?

Update Request

Ok so upon playing with this for a while i come to realise it was limiting the member dumping to only 25 members, this is because facebook using pagination even with their API

To remedy this simply open lib/fetch_members.coffee
navigate to the section of code that looks like this:
`module.exports = (program) ->

Explicitly list fields so can set comment limits to 999 which should fetch

all comments in one pass.

url = "https://graph.facebook.com/#{ program.group_id }/members?access_token=#{ program.accessToken }"
membersDb = levelup(config.dataDir + '/group_members_' + program.group_id, { valueEncoding: 'json' })
group_id = program.group_id
requestMembers(url)`

Then find the url line:
url = "https://graph.facebook.com/#{ program.group_id }/members?access_token=#{ program.accessToken }"
and change it to:
url = "https://graph.facebook.com/#{ program.group_id }/members?access_token=#{ program.accessToken }&limit=7500"

That is limited to display upto 7500 members so you can play with that number as you wish :)

Grabbing posts by month and year altogether

limit 5

facebook-export -a TOKEN -l only gives me 5 groups, even though i'm at least in 10 groups. I think you need to use the pagination (e.g. the cursors) offered by the facebook api, because each request only gives at most 5 results.

Getting the replies made to a comment in a group's post

Hello.

The package it great but I would like to ask: is any way I can get the replies made to a comment? I mean, right now I can get post and comments but I cant get the replies made to the comments.

Is any commad that can be execute to get the replies?
Can I modify files?
Which files are needed to be modify in order to get the query?

thank you

npm install -g facebook-export failing

trouble installing - npm install -g facebook-export . help appreciated please

Sale post API

Facebook groups have a specific feature - Sale Post that allows to post items for sale. What about filtering returned items so we only get for sale posts or even how to check if the post is a for sale post or not in a Group? Thanks

feature request: add function to get the names of people who liked the comment

I'm trying to create my own rating for members of group.
And it would be awesome if your script could retrieve detailed likes information for every comment (I need ids of people who liked the comment).
Is it possible to add this feature?

People with 2 surnames don't appear in the results

As the title says - if person has 2 surnames their posts are not pulled, they also don't appear in the members list.(I think it's facebook api bug, because they also don't show up in Graph API Explorer, but I can't report api bugs)

No such file or directory

Hi there,
During the process of installing facebook-export, I managed to get an access token, but… when I enter facebook-export -a -l (with the access token,of course), I get a 'No such file or directory'! Very frustrating.
Can you please help me with this?

No error when the API key is invalid or too old

The exporter just sends a message and exits with no error code which is quite inconvenient when interfacing it with bash scripts.

Example :

facebook-export -g ${GROUPID} -a ${FBTOKEN} -d &> /dev/null

if [ $? != 0 ]; then
	echo "Something went wrong while trying to get your posts."
	echo "Try re-running the script using a fresh API key :"
	echo "https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer"
	
	exit
fi

This won't exit with an error if an exception wasn't raised by the facebook-export.

commands errors unless '~/groupsMetaData' is populated by 'list' command.

Thanks for authoring this tool! I did find it rather confusing at first that I was getting errors. While I have used NPM and Node for a while, it's always frustrating when you hit a ton of errors. I ran into a bunch when just trying to install this tool from child packages. One I rolled back to node 5.5.0 I was finally able to get things to start running. However, I was just jumping to the command I wanted to run.

☺  facebook-export -a [my_token] -g [my_gpr_id] -d

However, this throws this error on first run, OR if you delete the '~/groupsMetaData' folder.

events.js:141
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
OpenError: IO error: /Users/myuser/.facebook_export/groupsMetaData/LOCK: No such file or directory
    at /Users/myuser/.nvm/versions/node/v5.4.0/lib/node_modules/facebook-export/node_modules/levelup/lib/levelup.js:114:34

So, yes the workaround is, run this command first to generate a list:

facebook-export -a [my_token] -l

lock not found

on fresh install it complains that /Users/myuser/.facebook_export/groupsMetaData/LOCK was not found. fixed it with touch /Users/myuser/.facebook_export/groupsMetaData/LOCK

Members list

Hi!

I've got all of the program working, but I can't seem to find a way to just get the members and their ID numbers, other than going through the posts and copying them. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!!
