pip install -r requirements.txt
Note: this will install Gunicorn and Gevent. These packages are not required if you choose a different server.
This application is set up to only download comments on posts from a specified public facebook page. You will need to register and configure a Facebook app. Once you've done this, fill out config.py with your information.
To get comment author and reactions info you will need to use a Page Access token from a user who has admin rights to the page. You can get a token by setting up a system user.
Be aware of the following restriction:
Devmode Apps — Apps in Devmode are now rate-limited to 200 calls per hour, per page-app pair, and can only access Users who have a role on the app (admin, developer, or tester).
