FQL no longer works.

Open phiresky opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

Facebook deprecated the FQL Api in version v2.0 and removed it completely in v2.1. This means this no longer works if the "app" is created after Aug 2014.

The newer Api limits the message loading to 25 messages per request (20x slower) and blocks after very few calls, making it almost impossible to get >10k messages.

If anybody has an idea to fix this, feel free to comment.

A possible solution would be to be able to import the messages.html from facebook export..

I think they now also allow JSON export, which is even easier to parse. Only problem is the file size so it probably needs a streaming JSON parser. Shouldn't be hard, you can use FileReader API to get a file from file system in chunks and then parse in those chunks. But I don't use Facebook anymore so I don't really have a large incentive to implement this. PRs welcome of course.
