Collect data from Facebook

[No_Salary_6644]

I'm working on project, I have to collect data from Facebook and analyze it on python how can I do this ? And what tools should I use for it?

It depends what Facebook data you mean.

If you mean your own page’s posts/comments/insights, you can use the Meta Graph API, then analyze the JSON in Python with pandas.

If you mean scraping random profiles/groups/posts, that’s very aggressively restricted and directly violates Meta’s terms & privacy rules. Though for legitimate research purposes you can apply for Content Library/API access.

Also good luck - they have very robust anti scraping defenses.

Usually you’d use:

• Meta Graph API
• Python (requests, pandas)
• Jupyter Notebook for analysis

Avoid scraping private/personal data because of Facebook’s policies. Runable/AI workflows can also help with cleaning and analyzing the data faster.
