Good Day Alexandra, this python code (a GitHub site <https://github.com/minimaxir/facebook-page-post-scraper>) had helped a year ago, but am not fully sure if it runs after many FB API updates; this code might not export the content of comment (and I have to double-check some relevant historical threads regarding this in this mailing list). What is needed here is to set up a facebook developer app, as well as to have the target facebook group ID, then to create an "app_secret" to iterate the call without pause. For the desired timeframe, the code specifies too for you to just fill in. Just drop me a line and I can send you the python code we have modified. best regards, Shih-Hsuan On 18 July 2018 at 07:39, Paolo Eusebi <paoloeusebi@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Alexandra, I don't know if it helps but you can take a look at this: http://thinktostart.com/analyzing-facebook-with-r/. R can be used also for text analysis and networks. Best, Paolo.

Hi to all,
I've been trying to import data form a public Facebook group as dataset, mainly for qualitative analysis. The group includes substantial amounts of data with thousands of users. I would need to extract data (posts and comments) for at least a two months period. I was previously using a NVivo extension (NCapture) to do so, but Facebook recently changes its API, which implies restrictions for dataset import. Tools such as Netvizz don't seem to work at the moment as well.
I was wondering if you knew about other ways or ressources to make such a gathering possible.
Best, Alexandra _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
