This tool lets you download a GDF network

You'll need to have python, pip, and Crhome Driver

Once that's all set up:

1. Clone this repository
2. cd into the cloned folder
3. Create a python enviornment
4. pip install -r requirements.txt
5. Download chromedriver https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/
6. Copy the cromedriver into the bin folder of your environment

I ran it using python 3.5.2

Getting your list of friends is no longer possible via the Facebook Graph API, so you can use this. It has 2 modes:

1. Download a list of your connections, and
2. Download a list of your 2nd-degree connections for social network analysis. You can choose between downloading mutual friends or al 2n-degree friends
3. Save data to a GDF file

Note: This could take days if you have lots of friends!

1a. Run python facebook-connections.py 0, to get all of your friends' friends . 1b. Run python facebook-connections.py 0, to get only your friends' mutual friends . 2. A browser window will open. Fill out your username & password and log in. 3. Press Enter in the terminal after logging in. 4. You should the script looping through your Facebook friends' friend pages. 5. A GDF file will be created with the data (your_name_connections.gdf)

Note: This currently may get tripped up by in some situations, because the scroll_to_bottom() function doesn't accurately detect when it's at the bottom of the friends list. Please feel free to improve with a pull request!
