I have been trying to process Facebook data for analysis. Is there a way to pull (comments, likes, shares) from Facebook on Rapidminer like Twitter search operator?
The current extension pulls only pages and the posts for a search term. The next build will have operators for pulling shares, likes, and comments for a particular post. It's under development and hopefully, it will be available in 2-3 days.
Thomas, i use the find pages facebook operator and it brings back the page ids, but connecting it with find page content does not produce any results. Do you have a tip for me?
Thanks Klaus

hello @Klaus_FRA - welcome to the community. The Facebook Extension was just published a week or so ago. To be honest, I only started using it this morning and find it a little clunky. Here's what I built to look for "rapidminer":
Here is a sample process file where you can fetch all the posts with a particular term from various pages. Please create a new facebook connection before running it.

this is GREAT. Thank you @curious95! Perhaps you can write a knowledgebase article for us so other users can find this information easily?
EDIT: just curious about the authentication. When I used this yesterday, the extension went through an OAuth process with Facebook (similar to our Twitter extension) which made sense to me. This morning when I updated to your new version, it goes instead to Aptus' Azure acct. What's the process here?
The FB Oauth seems like not working anymore. It is pointing to a non-functioning IP address. Anybody know how to fix this? This is from the URL copied from OAuth for FB
Hi vomer I got the same problem trying to request an access token. Could you provide some further details how you fixed it? This was really my first try for facebook analysis. Thanks!

Zapier? Is that on the marketplace? For some reason I do not see it, maybe just tierd.
I think the correct name for the operator is "Trigger Zapier" operator. It's located under the Data Access > Applications folder

@sgenzer @Klaus_FRA we are working on the extension to fix the existing issue and add more features. Hopefully, a new build will be coming tomorrow.

Again thank you for producing such a great idea.

This is good news indeed. This was a very necessary to RapidMiner. Looking forward to try the new build.
Thank you @curious95
@curious95 @sgenzer thank you both for this fast and helpful answer. Now i can search facebook for a given term.

@snizam48 The oAuth credential page is under maintenance. It will be available soon.
@snizam48 @sgenzer The extension is up and running now.
Hi @curious95 . Tried the FB OAuth again today, but by copying the url and accessing it thru chrome, I still get the same result as below:
Hi RM Community,
I was trying to create a facebook connection today but it gave the following message -
I was able to fix this by changing http to https in authorization URL.
