EventParserForFacebook is a parser for the event section of Facebook Pages (e.g. GitHub events on Facebook).
EventParserForFacebook parses the HTML-Structure of the Facebook pages and extracts the events as JSON or HTML. Optionally the HTML can be uploaded to a Wordpress website. You can scan multiple pages at once and publish all events on one WordPress website.
Imagine that you have multiple subdivisions in your association and all of them publish their events on their own Facebook pages. You have the lucky task to inform your members about all new events. You could visit the Facebook pages regularly and grab the events.
Or you use this tool and generate a dashboard about all events on one website with automatic updates :)
- Download Release binary (available for Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi and MacOS)
- Start FacebookEventParser once. An empty config file will be generated
- Modify the config file (see section below)
- Run FacebookEventParser regularly
The config is located next to the executables. It is called 'config.yaml'
