Today, we will discuss the relevance of Facebook comment scrappers for WordPress and how these tools can help you overcome the pain points of creating engaging posts for your WordPress audience.

What are Facebook comment exporting tools and how do they work?

Facebook comment export tools help you export comments from the posts on the Facebook pages. While most of us may consider it a tool to copy data using bots and replicate it somewhere else, there are many more real-world uses for these web scraping tools. 

Only a seasoned Chrome extension development partner like The Brihaspati Infotech can help you get compliant custom Facebook scraping tools using the grey areas of regulations that govern the use of public data use. All you need to have is the necessary permissions and answers to the following questions:-

• The sources of Facebook data you wish to export/scrap.
• Specifications about the location of the data.
• Purpose of exporting the data using scraping tools.

The scraping tools typically work by making HTTP requests that target Facebook pages to extract the data. Some scrapers also make requests to internal APIs for fetching the specific data required by the users. 

While there are various types of web scraping tools, you have the option to customize their capabilities to suit your needs. For example, you may use a Facebook comment scraping tool to export only comments or can even modify it to export images posted by users.

Our experience with the Facebook scraper chrome extensions & plugins

Our client for this project was a social media influencer with several popular Facebook pages where tons of users used to put comments and reviews for the products, events, or topics in discussion. 

We needed to build a Facebook comment export tool that can extract the comments/reviews posted on these Facebook pages. Additionally, we also need to provide a solution for turning them into interactive posts on the client’s WordPress websites.

Let’s go through some of the features of our custom Facebook scraping tool that we provided to match the expectations of our client:-

Users can select comments using Checkboxes.

When the user installs this extension, he gets the option to add checkboxes in front of each comment posted on his post. He can check these boxes for the comments he wants to export from a particular Facebook page or post.

Ability to select images using Checkboxes

Our custom Facebook comment scrapping chrome extension also allows users to select and export images. The user gets the checkboxes placed after every image, and he can use them to export only those images that he wants.

Ability to view all the selected comments/images

Once the user ticks the checkboxes for comments and images he wishes to export, the Facebook scraper Chrome extension helps them to view these comments and images in one place. It was helpful to modify the selections before exporting them to WordPress.

Generate and copy the HTML code for selected comments/images

The plugin also generates the HTML code for all images and comments. The users have the option to copy and paste it directly on their WordPress website. Thus, It helped us to ensure that our chrome extension should be equally good for people with low coding knowledge.
