    Goodmorning,
    When i configure and run the script it don't stop to charge, so i think it come from the permissions.
    I can't see photos for install your script (like this one : http://demo.brightery.com.eg/tutorials/facebookdatascrapper1.PNG and this one http://demo.brightery.com.eg/tutorials/facebookdatascrapper2.PNG )
    Thank you.

    Is this the correct code for the config file? The pic above uses define ( 'Facebook_app_id','enter my id$'); but where does this go... in a separate config file than the below code? Help...

    The only config file i edited was the code below inside the folder containing all of the scraper files...

    1. Melody Bedingfield

      the config file depends on the version you are using, but if you mention for version 1 and 2, so it must look like the following:

      define ( 'FACEBOOK_APP_ID','2323232323232323');
      define ( 'FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET','1212121212121212121212121212');

      where "2323232323232323" and "1212121212121212121212121212" is your fb app variables.

      Thanks

    2. Clara Reisha

      so do we simply set up three different apps - how many apps do we need to set up to scrap users, places, pages, events - no real example above - right now i can only search pages - works great but i would like to try users and events but not sure how to allow them... or where and what kind of app is needed...

    3. Melody Bedingfield

      Hello,

      One app is enough to scrap anything, multi app support is just to increase the api call limits.

      You issue related to the fb app configuration, please follow step 3 (to enable user, group and event search follow this step) above
