Kindly help me find a software (paid for or free) that can help me retrieve comprehensive data (including name of commentator, likes, comments, content shared etc.) under a particular hashtag on Facebook. Thank you.
... to get the access token (the user permission to read his news feed) is the most difficult part!
Thanks, Christian Benjamin Ries and Andreas Witt. Christian, can you please walk me through the process? Andreas, have you used the same process to collect data based on a particular hashtag?
... yes i also collected data from Facebook in that way but without considering an hashtag. I used my lectures so it wasn't very difficult to get the access tokens form my students. But if you want to get information data from unknown users it would be more difficult i think.
Thanks, Andreas. Have you tried collecting data using the print command, and then saving the content as pdf?
Get a token is not a difficult task follow some step you can easily get token and you can direct configure your website to facebook. when you post in your website it automatic post on facebook account
@Henry: i saved all collected data in a database by using the Facebook API.
Thank you very much, everyone. Your inputs have been very insightful. I also just found a program called DiscoverText. It's really great for Facebook and other social media data. It has a 30-day trial period. Have a good weekend!
