Hey everyone!
So, I’ve been trying to scrape fb group data for a project, and man, it’s been a headache. Facebook’s got all these restrictions, and their API is basically useless unless you’re Zuckerberg himself.
I’ve tried a few tools like Octoparse and ParseHub, but they’re kinda hit or miss. Anyone got better recs? I’ve heard some folks use Python with BeautifulSoup or Selenium, but idk if I wanna dive into coding just to scrape fb group stuff.
Also, what’s the deal with proxies? Do I *really* need them, or can I just wing it?
Would love to hear what’s worked for y’all. Bonus points if it’s free or cheap lol.
Cheers!
