scraping data from facebook page #326

Hi, was wondering if there's a way to extract the number of likes/followers a page on facebook has (i.e. not just the posts or not data from a profile.) Thanks! |

Sure - this commit (adfd6da) adds a new function called get_page_info. Usage: from pprint import pprint
from facebook_scraper import *
pprint(get_page_info("Nintendo"))output {'dateCreated': '2011-06-01T15:23:50-0700',
'followers': 5469624,

I've been trying to use this function, but it only ever returns likes. |

businesses = ['bpattorney', I pulled each of these page names from the URL to be safe. Some return just likes; some return nothing at all. |
