I had some Vape related items to sell. From where I'm from a lot of people buy and sell these kind of items through Facebook groups. I then made an iMacros bot that would automatically search certain Vape related keywords on Facebook, filter by Groups, and then log the different Facebook groups details along with the number of members so I can pick which groups are worth my time to post on.
I also wanted to make a script to automate the posting of my items but Facebook has gone through extreme lengths to prevent this from happening. I eventually gave up and posted manually.
- jpster 9y agoWill the search pick up your terms when they occur in Groups that you’ve not joined yet? Any chance you can share the code on Github?
- accidentalrebel 9y agoIt's not searching the contents of groups but rather the groups themselves. Using Facebook's search functionality it searches the title or description of the group for my terms. For example: https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=vape&ref=top_filter https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=vape&ref=top_filte... My iMacros bot visits that URL and it just goes through the results, parsing the data listed on that page. Here is the code uploaded as a Gist: https://gist.github.com/accidentalrebel/79fda4536f799f4a4873e55aff21a977 https://gist.github.com/accidentalrebel/79fda4536f799f4a4873... It's been awhile since I last touched this so not sure if it is the lastest or if it still works. Goodluck!
