Hi everyone,

I am looking for a tool that will extract content from Facebook public Pages and open Groups. I am not interested in collecting user profile data or conducting any type of network analysis - although tools that can collect additional data that fits my needs might work. Ideally, I am looking for a tool that can collect from specified Pages/Groups the entire set of comments and posts to the Page/Group, and if possible, "Likes" and other forms of user activity.

I am considering a research project analyzing content of Pages and Groups and would like an alternative to creating PDFs and manually entering data.

Thanks for your help!
Tim
