Facebook Message Scraper
Written on January 1st , 2017 by Gabriel DownsParseBook is a python script to scrape and parse your facebook messenger data into a single organized json object.
Anyone can download their complete facebook message history from facebook directly, but parsing of the data by this program allows for easier search and analysis of conversations. This code is also significantly faster than other facebook message parsers since it does not rely on libraries like BeautifulSoup.
This code was written as part of a larger chatbot project which won 3rd place at the McHacks 2017 hackathon.
The full code is available on github.
