Web Scraping Facebook Time Lapse Thumbnail

Why?
Facebook provides an easy tool to save all your information, including
photos, from your profile - straight to your computer.
The only issue is - it only saves YOUR photos, but none of the photos you
were tagged in, hosted on other peoples' profile.
My beautiful Facebook scraper will extract both - your personal photos,
as well as the photos you were tagged in.

Just please adjust the URL inside the code to match the URL of your
own profile/username ("goldie.may.750" will direct you to my empty account)

Another thing to keep in mind - it's not the first time I'm building this scraper,
and it seems that Facebook is dynamically adjusting its' own code to prevent
scrapers like this from working properly. My last scraper became obsolete 2 days
(2 DAYS!!!) after I created it and downloaded 650+ photos from my personal account.
In case their code changes again, please keep in mind that you might need to adjust
one or two lines to accomodate whatever they changed.

Good luck!

webscrapingfacebook's Issues

...fixes for 2022...

Super helpful project! Got me started with scraping.
Code is broken/outdated due to Selenium changes and FaceBook changes.
Figured I'd give back some minor repairs.
Working code as of 2022/09/05

Extra module to install...
conda install -c conda-forge webdriver-manager

Changes per code block

[1]

# Passing exe path is deprecated, must pass service using ChromeDriverManager
+from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
+from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager

[2]

-chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
+options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
prefs = {"profile.default_content_setting_values.notifications" : 2}
-chrome_options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)
+options.add_experimental_option("prefs",prefs)

# 
images = []
+repos = ["photos_of", "photos_by"]

[4]

-#example: range(0,10) scrolls down 650+ images
+#example: range(0,30) scrolls down ~650 images

#driver.find_elements_by_tag_name is deprecated, use driver.find_elements(By.XXXX,"foo") instead.

-anchors = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name('a')
+anchors = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,"a")
#...
-img = driver.find_elements_by_tag_name("img")
+img = driver.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME,"img")
#...
#This prints progress. Mariya wrestled with this in the video (Is it running?)
+print(anchorcount," of ",str(len(anchors)))
