# fb-data-parser

An extendable parser for your Facebook data

Facebook has been allowing you to [download all of your data](https://www.facebook.com/help/131112897028467) for a while, but only in HTML format.  This tool is designed to help you export that to a variety of formats (only JSON right now) so that you can more easily analyze it.  

## Data types

Facebook gives you data about the following things:

* ads

* apps

* contact info

* events

* friends

* messages

* photos

* security

Right now this tool only supports exporting your messages, but support for all types is planned.  A CLI script is provided, but the modules are designed to be easily accessed from an IPython notebook for easier analysis.  Examples will be added soon.

## Usage

```

usage: fb-data-parser.py [-h] -d DATA_DIR [-t OUTPUT_TYPE]

Parse Facebook data.

optional arguments:

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  -d DATA_DIR, --data DATA_DIR

                        Path to facebook data directory

  -t OUTPUT_TYPE, --output-type OUTPUT_TYPE

                        Type of the output, only json for now

```
