Download All Posts For Group I Have Admin Rights To Using Facebook Graph Api

We are trying to retrieve ALL the posts, with associated comments and images, made to our group in the last year. I've tried using GraphAPI to do this but pagination means I have t

Solution 1:

I made it like this, you'll probably have to iterate through all posts until data is empty. Note this is Python 2.x version.

from facepy import GraphAPI
import json

group_id = "YOUR_GROUP_ID"
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

graph = GraphAPI(access_token)

# https://facepy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/usage/graph-api.htmldata = graph.get(group_id + "/feed", page=False, retry=3, limit=800)

with open('content.json', 'w') as outfile:
  json.dump(data, outfile, indent = 4)

Solution 2:

I've just found, and used @dfdfdf 's solution, which is great! You can generalize it to download from multiple pages of a feed, rather than just the first one, like so:

from facepy import GraphAPI
import json

group_id = "\YOUR_GROUP_ID"
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"

graph = GraphAPI(access_token)
pages = graph.get(group_id + "/feed", page=True, retry=3, limit=1000)
i = 0for p in pages:
    print'Downloading page', i
    withopen('content%i.json' % i, 'w') as outfile:
        json.dump(p, outfile, indent = 4)
    i += 1
