fb-data-parser

An extendable parser for your Facebook data

Facebook has been allowing you to download all of your data for a while, but only in HTML format. This tool is designed to help you export that to a variety of formats (only JSON right now) so that you can more easily analyze it.

Data types

Facebook gives you data about the following things:

  • ads
  • apps
  • contact info
  • events
  • friends
  • messages
  • photos
  • security

Right now this tool only supports exporting your messages, but support for all types is planned. A CLI script is provided, but the modules are designed to be easily accessed from an IPython notebook for easier analysis. Examples will be added soon.

Usage

usage: fb-data-parser.py [-h] -d DATA_DIR [-t OUTPUT_TYPE]

Parse Facebook data.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DATA_DIR, --data DATA_DIR
                        Path to facebook data directory
  -t OUTPUT_TYPE, --output-type OUTPUT_TYPE
                        Type of the output, only json for now
