THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTANTION. I struggled for more than 6 months to extract information by simply "copy-paste" it but it was so time-losing... I wish you happiness and good luck on more brilliant ideas. You shared valuable information with us. You are a very good person!
Thanks. Practically all my secrets come from `Search|Copy`. I wish more people knew I was a good guy. I think my entire matrix Sys does, but many others may be brain-washed. Who knows?
Thank you! Although I am getting the "access token required" message. Is this only applicable to a Facebook page you own or of which you are an admin? I was hoping to dump comments to a post on a group page of which I am a member. Need something that will support a legal argument. Thanks in advance for you response.
Like two of the other comments below I managed to get it to download the comments but not the replies under those comments? Any advice as I need those too.
Thanks David. I am working on windows and cant seem to figure out what format you saved the file in. When I am copy pasting it on a notepad , and then processing on open refine..stuck here :)
hi! it was a great technique to crawl comments. but when i open the file at openrefine, it doesnt appear the same way as yours. which mean it does not help me organize all the text nicely, like ID one row,commnets one row, user one row. help help!
please tell me what does " 2016-05-02T15:49:13+0000" mean. becase my client wrote on 2nd of may but the hour isn't correct. he wrote at 06:49 pm. please, urgently help!

2 yrs too late lol but you can also select 'comments' in the same window as the limit (also messages, just to be sure you get every comment). It'll show the nested comments. THey all begin with "message:" anyway so it's easy to mine them.
Hi, Thank for your help. but i wonder about How to get ID of photo post on Facebook ? The ID of photo post so difference, i try many ways but it wasn't work
Thanks David it really helped me out! I'm wondering though if it would possible to extract not only comments but also the number of likes they got. Thanks again!
+Mathieu Forcier nocodewebscraping.com/how-to-extract-data-from-facebook-page-competitor-analysis/ You can find here a way to extract the number of likes, but it would be more simply if you use both this solution and the way that David introduced! ;) Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. That group regently has changed to Closed Group. I think that's problem. Is there any sollution to get comments from Closed Group (Only member can view posts) that I'm a member and I can read/reply to it.

Hello Merrillie, did you find a solution to this problem? It would be helpful. Thank you, Anna.
Hi David. How about getting "all" comments from a facebook page? Not only for a particular post. Is it possible?
Thank you!
There are 220 items in json list but OpenRefine only find 10 of them. I dont understand what is the problem.
Hello! What are the permissions?
David- Is there an easy way to remove all the extra quotes from these JSON once exported using the API?
Any way to do this with comments in a group?
I have a question. How to select all comments from the .json file in OpenRefine? I can load only two of them in a project.
Thank you.
same problem
Thanks David. I am working on windows and cant seem to figure out what format you saved the file in. When I am copy pasting it on a notepad , and then processing on open refine..stuck here :)
Hello, if i may ask. How do you download reply?
When I follow your instruction only comments were downloaded.
Can you help me please?

So someone have already had the same thoughts we have now!
May i know what is the maximum post that you can extract out?
when I click on the date of the post I want to capture comments for ( there are 9800), I am not seeing the post id? where do I look? can anyone answer?
Is there supposed to be something in the access token? Mine is empty. Nevermind the answer is below.
Cant get this to work. Is this outdated for the todays settings and rules on Facebook?

hmm?!
Is it applicable on all the social media sites ?
Hi how would I then only find comments with a specific message ?
what about Nested comments
How can we access those comments and there might be multiple nested comments
2 yrs too late lol but you can also select 'comments' in the same window as the limit (also messages, just to be sure you get every comment). It'll show the nested comments. THey all begin with "message:" anyway so it's easy to mine them.
