Facebook GraphQL Scraper — Open-Source, Lightweight, No Headless Browser

Описание и применение

Скриптер facebook-gql-scraper позволяет быстро собирать данные с Facebook без API‑ключа и тяжелых браузеров, используя экспортированные куки.

Задача

Existing free Facebook scrapers are outdated or unreliable, requiring developers to find a lightweight, API‑key‑free solution for collecting Facebook data.

Результат

The scraper enables developers to collect diverse Facebook data types quickly and efficiently without heavy dependencies or API keys.

Рабочий процесс

• Export Facebook cookies as JSON using Cookie‑Editor (Firefox) or EditThisCookie (Chrome).
• Save the file as facebook_cookies.json.
• Install the library with pip install facebook-gql-scraper.
• Create a FacebookContext with the cookies file.
• Instantiate a Profile via Profile.from_username(ctx, username='Ishowspeed').
• Access profile attributes (name, biography, birthday).
• Iterate over posts with user.get_posts() and print post details.
• Explore additional data such as comments, reactions, photos, and videos using the library’s API.
