A simple python application to scrape a Facebook page and collect insights about the posts on the page.

1. Create a virtual environment for the project: mkvirtualenv scrapy-insights
2. Install requirements: pip install requirements.txt

You will need a Facebook access token with the read_insights and manage_pages permissions, as well as the Facebook Page ID (found via Page > Settings > Page Info > Facebook Page ID).

Then, just run this command:

scrapy crawl page -a page=<PAGE_ID> -a token=<PAGE_TOKEN>

Then, insights for that pages posts will be collected and sent to RabbitMQ.

RabbitMQ configuration can be found in insights/settings.py.

Due to time constraints, the following features have been omitted

• Tests
• Handling Facebook Pagination
