I have been wondering if, instead of bothering to try to scrape Facebook via DOM, it might be worth pursuing a basic image matching approach to divide a Facebook page up into regular "chunks" that are just saved as images.
I'd personally be happy with an RSS feed of Facebook as just a series of images in a feed, but I guess once you've gone that far you could relatively simply run it through OCR to get most of the text.
- Karrot_Kream 5y agoI've toyed around with scraping Facebook through a headless chrome myself but haven't done it yet. Have you taken a look at https://mbasic.facebook.com https://mbasic.facebook.com ? It might be simpler to parse.
