scrapbook

Gleam package for the Erlang target that can scrape parts of Facebook.

Currently this package only supports scraping events!

gleam add scrapbook

import gleam/io
import scrapbook/event

pub fn main() {
  let event =
    event.scrape_from_url(
      "https://www.facebook.com/events/1137956700212933/1137956706879599/",
    )
  io.debug(event)
}

All contributions are welcome. If you have any questions, please create an issue in the repository.
