I want to select a user (whose images are public and viewable to me, aka a current friend on facebook) and download all viewable pictures of that person, along with the location of the tag of them in that picture. This is all publicly available to me anyway, so it shouldn’t be an issue, I’m just not sure how to extract the tagged location on the image.
Is this something oyu can do through the Facebook API or through some other means? How would you do it?
This information won’t be available via their Graph API because getting user info requires the user to authorize your app, or the person must be friends with the user that approved your app. You could scrape Facebook’s site but this is against their terms of service, and is tricky because they have a lot of measures put in place to prevent scraping.
