I need a parser for events on Facebook that can download events from the city of Vilnius that take place on a specific day. Here is a video explanation: https://svajok.tinytake.com/msc/MTA2MjMwMjJfMjQzMjg2NTk
Link to events: https://www.facebook.com/events/?date_filter_option=CUSTOM_DATE_RANGE&discover_tab=CUSTOM&end_date=2025-03-14T22%3A00%3A00.000Z&location_id=101877916520606&start_date=2025-03-14T22%3A00%3A00.000Z
1) I explain the task in text: I plan to download information about events from Facebook (currently in any format, preferably json), I am most interested in the event description (date, name, organizer, venue are also needed but they are secondary).
Using the link I provided, the parser should find and download all 182 events (the same number that is displayed on the computer). I need this to later feed them to the ChatGPT neural network so that it can group them by categories paid/free, exhibition/concert/something else, etc. This will all work on my server, integrating with ChatGPT is not a problem, the main issue now is downloading information from Facebook. There are already ready-made paid solutions available online (I am fine with paying for a subscription), but I have not been able to configure them adequately to download what I need. Therefore, the task at the moment is to find and configure a service that will adequately download the events I need.
2) What events I want to download: events that take place in the city of Vilnius, Lithuania, on a specific date (in the example link above, the date is specified as 2025-03-14, the date can easily be changed by modifying it in the link while the city remains unchanged).
3) What solutions are not suitable: I would not like to install parsers on my computer or server as that would lead to constant bans on Facebook accounts and IP addresses. So, I need to find a ready-made solution, let the service provider deal with the blocking issues. You need to configure one of the parsing services correctly and show me how you did it, as I am unable to do it. As mentioned above, for March 14 in the city of Vilnius, the parser should find and download about 180 events (exactly as many as found through the web browser)
4) I expect to receive a file in any format (json or csv for example) that contains the data I need (the most important is the event description) + information on how and what you configured. One of the parsers I tried to use downloaded everything necessary but for some reason in the wrong city, I couldn't configure it. I am attaching the output file so you can see an example of how it should be downloaded dataset_facebook-events-scraper_2025-03-02_13-37-22-164.json
In this file, the information I needed was as follows:
- url
- name
- utcStartDate
- address
- description (this is the most important field, without it it is not suitable)
- price
- organizedBy
5) I will be waiting for your proposals 😊
