Facebook Comment Crawling Using Python

Facebook Comment Crawling

First of all, you learn about split of a string. It is very useful for capturing the comments from social media. Split is use for breaking the sentence in to parts.

For Example: 
>>> string = 'Hello, this is test String'
>>> splitup = string.split(',')
>>> print splitup

Result: ['Hello', ' this is test String']

If we use print splitup[0], Result will be Hello and if print splitup[1], then result will be this is test String.

 here, we are using same concept for capturing comments from Facebook.

topSplit = 'body\":{\"text\":\"'
bSplit = '\",\"ranges\":'


sourceCode = urllib2.urlopen(website).read()

for i in range(1,50):

 sourceCodeSplit = sourceCode.split(topSplit)[i].split(bSplit)[0]
 print i
