I am working in paper and i need user profile data-set including location or check in dimension in any social network like Facebook. It is to better to be used by previous papers or known datasets.
try first through the open APIs. You probably need to create an account for using it.

I am interested in how you might get this information. Would the facebook users have to consent first? Brad
The best solution would be to develop an application and have the Facebook users authorize it. You would get very limited data otherwise (their posts in public groups, fan pages only).
You could test the API to see what data you would get using the following link

I need a dataset that is known , also i may extract facebook users data but it couldn't found the check in.
I suspect that obtaining this information without user authorization will be difficult. Social network information is pretty close hold. If you get it through an app, API, etc., then you are limiting your population, with resultant effect on external validity if you desire the information for academic research. When I worked on online social networking for my dissertation, I had to rely on self-reported survey data, as I found all other avenues closed.
I have a social network web site www.Gohardasht.com please let me know if you are interested.

I recommend you contact Fredrik Erlandsson, he published an article about a Facebook dataset

Here u have an anonymized dataset

Otherwise the application solution is a good idea, but u have the app working for a lot of time and asking to use those info to the user.
Hi Giuseppe.. I have checked dataset available on http://snap.stanford.edu.
But not able to find the features of the node(name, location etc). Can you pls tell me how I can access the features.
Hello Nouran Radwan .
Please let me know if you are interested to use the dataset of this paper https://rdcu.be/bOZ2H
