scraping posts, their comments(not just the number of comments) and Likes, shares

[salma-eisa]

I'm doing work for a Ph.D. thesis. where I have to collect data and then use it for comment classification. I'm trying to use this program but I don't seem to know how to get the comments.

Set options={"comments": True}. Like: get_posts(page_name, options={"comments": True})

Hello and thank you for your help. I tried the following : from facebook_scraper import get_posts get_posts('ameedcoffee', options={"comments": True}) but the only thing i got was : generator object FacebookScraper._generic_get_posts at 0x000002D7F6EF0B30 am i doing something wrong? Thanks

get_posts returns a generator, that you can iterate over (typically with a for loop). Try:

from pprint import pprint
for post in get_posts('ameedcoffee', options={"comments": True}):
  pprint(post)
