Facebook crawler in python

Hey,

iam building a FB-crawler in Python2.7.

Iam looking for someone to split the work.

PN me if you have have basic knowledge in Python, Javascript and Captcha breaking with open source librarys.

What do you mean by facebook crawler?
Email extracting or anyother ?

the main features will be :
-process Userass file
-login user to fb00k
-proxysupport
-start "crawling" from selected profil

It helps to write modules in C or C++ to extend the Python interpreter with new modules. Those modules can define new functions but also new object types and their methods. The document also describes how to embed the Python interpreter in another application, for use as an extension language.

Finally, it shows how to compile and link extension modules so that they can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter, if the underlying operating system supports this feature.

I can't really help you here, but good luck with it!
Would be happy to test it out when it's done!

Have a good day!
Regards, from lolzor60.

:edit..

done?

Why not just use the facebook API using the open graph protocol? You can emulate login using OAuth2 (and have the script login) and then access the user's info directly through the API.

I'm interested in this, could you PM me your mail?
My post is less than 15 so I could not PM you.

as a word of advice, test your script manually before writing it

will save yourself significant time if you verify that your theory works in practice before automating it to scale

also I've taken up the practice of storing all my account details with a proxy server, so that it will always try to use the same proxy first...

let me know if you run into any blocks getting this built, I've been writing automation tools with Python for a while, though I don't do to much with Facebook

PS. pycurl is your friend if you want to make it run multi-threaded, the urllib library stores proxy information as a global var so unless you want to do some serious monkey patching your going to run into a wall for number of threads you can run at once without getting insta-banned
