Tools for the fictitious band name repository
How to use this:
- put the table on the internet somewhere
- use the scripts to update posts.json
- repeat step two as often as you want
The scripts are for pulling down and manipulating group data.
The script fbscrape.py is for pulling down the data. To grab group data you need: 1. an access token, which you can get from https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ with permissions to access groups, and 2. the group ID, which you can find by clicking around in the graph explorer.
The script scr.py converts the output from fbscrape.py to a pipe delimited CSV file.
The script tojson.py depends on scr.py and converts the output from fbscrape.py to json. It doesn't grab all of the fields.
The table takes posts.json and joindates.js as input and allows users to view the posts from the repository.
