scrapbook

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

Currently, this package only supports scraping single events and events from a page (list of events or all event details).

gleam add scrapbook

import gleam/io
import scrapbook/event
import scrapbook/page

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

  let events = page.scrape_upcoming_events_from_name("CodeSyncGlobal")
  let _ = io.debug(events)
}

Further documentation can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/scrapbook.

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