Python Facebook Bot
Make your life easier
What is this?
This is a Facebook Bot/Assistant, writen in Python 3 and using Facebook API for some
specific tasks.
At the moment, I only implement it some functions to crawl/get Facebook's events by
location, since Facebook shutdown that APIs.
What do I need? (requirements.txt)
Right now, I'm only using requests for requesting APIs.
Installation
To install python-facebook-bot, simply:
$ pip install python-facebook-bot
How to use?
First, you need to create a Facebook App for Developer.
Then, run export command for CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET.
