Hi Thanks all for your kind response and suggestions. Appreciate it! So, it's kind of issue now with Facebook API as Tim stated..I tried few links it seems they wouldn't allow unfortunately. Lets hope we can find other better solutions. On 14 March 2018 at 10:06, Timothy Graham <Timothy.Graham@anu.edu.au> wrote:

Kudos to Chung-Hong Chan (https://twitter.com/chainsawriot?lang=en) for first identifying it!

*Subject:* Re: [Air-L] Tool to extract Facebook comment thread
Dear Dina and everyone,
These issues are almost certainly due to recent changes to the Facebook API (v2.11). In a nutshell it is terrible news for the research community (sorry to bear this bad news!):
User information will not be included in GET responses for any objects owned by (on) a Page unless the request is made with a Page access token. This affects all nodes and edges that return data for objects owned by a Page."
Further info see: https://developers.facebook. com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version2.11#gapi-90-pages
Unless you are the owner of a public FB page, or can get them to create an API token for you that has admin privilege, then you can only collect posts data (not comments and/or likes, nor user ID information)... So it is probably not useful at all for research purposes :(.
Incidentally, this also breaks the Facebook functionality of our R package SocialMediaLab, which (previously) enabled researchers to easily collect FB page data and construct networks.
Cheers,
Tim

Dear Colleagues,
Can anyone suggests any good online tools that can help extract the Facebook comments, I tried the Crazy Comment Export Tool but it doesn't works.
Appreciate your thoughts!
-- Best wishes,
Dina
