Is it possible to code a program that will scan facebook profiles & collect data?
    #13196590 - 09/14/10 08:44 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Hey computer people,
I'm working on a business project, and I had an idea. Is it possible for an automated script to systematically scan all public facebook profiles and collect data from them and store it in a database? Just in general, is this allowed or plausible??

Thanks for any insight!!

Sure.
Read web pages, parse into text, then store and collate.
Easy-peasy.
