Hey,
No, I have not found anything that I would dare to try.
There is a (in my opinion) shady set of "scraper providers" who for
some $$$ (how much and by what matrix differs a lot).
That claim to do this for you.
Firstly, I dont really trust them to begin with.
Second since this a breach of Facebook TOS going with a known provider seems scary and I would prefer to set my own request repeat speed.
More importantly usually their main "top" feature is to scrape out
all contact information in a group for "marketing" opportunities.
So I decided against all those.
I am still looking.
I have not given up.
My need for this is actually increasing.
I tried doing it by hand but I could not stand it.
I have tried some Macro recorders of various types
but not found one that really understands what I want to do.
The structure of Facebooks pages are (on purpose?) hard to explain to such a tool.
I keep looking around various scraping frameworks for Go, C# and Python.
I have not yet been able to create a program / script that is good enough.
It seems so bloody easy when you sit there,with Facebook in a browser
you scroll, cut paste, scroll. annoying.
To be clear, I want the content of the post I am an admin for.
Other admins and some users are worried that many years worth of
great discourse can be lost at a blink of a Facebook eye.
So I am trying to find a "backup" solution really.
