Hi all, I am novice researcher in my first Ph.D year at the Uni of Sheffield, UK. I am doing interdisciplinary research. It is about the influence of social media on shaping Libyans' attitude towards 17 February revolution and beyond. I will look at how social media has influenced people's views and beliefs and how has social media been used to distribute information. My main methodology is qualitative. However, I may use mixed methods later as the research progress. My data collection methods would be via interviews and analsying social media. However, as I am new in this field of analysing social media, I am wondering if someone can suggest me some tools or software programs to be used in collecting, downloading and analysing Facebook data. Moreover, I need these tools that support Arabic language as the most posts would be in Arabic. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks -- PhD Student, Information School, University of Sheffield, UK Lecturer, Dept of Library and Information Science, University of Tripoli, Libya Cilip Student Member
Dear all, I have the similar question. I am also looking for tools or software programs which can collect, download, and analyse Facebook data. I don't need the tools which support Arabic language specifically. Look forward to your suggestions. Thank you so much.

Hi Helen and Sukaina, I'm a PhD candidate in Communication and Information Sciences at University of Hawaii. If you're familiar with programming, you can use a python script to scrape facebook data. If not, I would use the social plugin available for the NodeXL template.

Hello Helen and Sukaina: Also check this list curated by Deen Freelon: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UaERzROI986HqcwrBDLaqGG8X_lYwctj6ek6ryqD... It lists several Facebook data collection tools. Good luck, On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 3:49 PM, chamil rathnayake <chamilvr@gmail.com> wrote:

Deen's list is great - thanks for sharing! My dissertation is qualitative and I used NCapture for NVivo as they work well together and the customer support/user community is excellent. My data was Twitter based, not Facebook. I was mostly pleased with this route, and would be happy to talk more off list about the pros and cons of this specific tool. -Jodi. -- Jodi Sperber, MSW, MPH Stalk: Twitter: jsperber <https://twitter.com/jsperber> Skype: jodisperber Read: www.healthissocial.net On Thu, Jun 11, 2015 at 6:44 AM, Stuart Shulman <stuart.shulman@gmail.com> wrote:

An annoying loss, to be sure, but Facebook still allows API downloads of posts + metadata to public pages and public comments left on them. Unlike with Twitter, there are no time limits on how far back you can go, so you can pull a page's entire history going back years. I've developed a Python script to do this which is available here: https://github.com/dfreelon/fb_scrape_public I haven't tested this extensively but folks have been asking me about it so I thought I'd throw it up. It's compatible with Facebook's recent API migration. On 6/11/2015 6:44 AM, Stuart Shulman wrote:

Hi all, I belt a Facebook page/group scraper for a project and the interface is very easy to use http://groupbrowser.azurewebsites.net/. It should be straightforward but if you need additional instructions please refer to this link <https://norahak.wordpress.com/2015/05/26/facebook-scraper-update/> .
