Python Facebook Bot

Make your life easier

What is this?


This is a Facebook Bot/Assistant, writen in Python 3 and using Facebook API for some specific tasks.
At the moment, I only implement it some functions to crawl/get Facebook's events by location, since Facebook shutdown that APIs.

What do I need? (requirements.txt)


Right now, I'm only using requests for requesting APIs.

Installation


To install python-facebook-bot, simply:

$ pip install python-facebook-bot

How to use?


First, you need to create a Facebook App for Developer.
Then, run export command for CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET.
Example:

$ export CLIENT_ID="Your facebook app's ID"
$ export CLIENT_SECRET="Your facebook app's secret key"

Then you can import facebook_bot and use it's methods.
Example with IPython:

Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 17 2016, 17:05:23)
Type 'copyright', 'credits' or 'license' for more information
IPython 6.0.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python. Type '?' for help.
