Hi, I would strongly advise against using NVivo to scrape Facebook data - I have seen the same issues that Marisa has identified - missing data, problems to import. Moreover, the NCapture tool only talks to NVivo, so you’re not ‘free' to analyze the data elsewhere. People tend to have good results with Netvizz. I use Facepager, which is an open source software created by and for academics. It requires a little knowledge on the APIs to make the right calls, but works like a charm and exports results to CSV. best, Patricia Rossini Postdoctoral researcher | School of Information Studies Syracuse University www.patriciarossini.com <http://www.patriciarossini.com/>

Our research group at the University of Brasilia (Brazil) has used NVivo/NCapture to capture and analyze data of Facebook pages, but recently has bumped into two serious issues:
a) the dataset won't open in NVivo (when we asked for help, NVivo personnel said this happened because of date problems, which we have not been able to solve). We just switched to Netvizz and then opened the dataset on NVivo to do content analysis of posts. b) we have noticed differences in the amount of information gathered by NCapture in comparison with Netvizz. There are chunks of periods in which posts have not been collected by NCapture (and we confirmed that the data is there), which has surprised us, because we had not previously had this problem.
I am happy to talk to you about these and other issues.

I would be very happy to talk to anyone who has managed to capture content from facebook page for NVIVO. Facebook pages as a data set specifically is my interest( not groups or conversation and not as a PDF, but as a dataset)
Many thanks in advance!
