README

A stupid script to scrape data from Facebook's Birthdays ICAL. Probably against terms of use. Who cares. Astrology!

Facebook used to have a API, but they scrapped it. So we need to go and do some old-school scraping, zuck style.

Go to the bottom right of the Facebook Events Page. You should see a Birthdays option on the lower right, above the language selector.

Clone this repo
Download the ICAL, renaming it to my.ics
Navigate to the directory in Gitbash or Terminal or whatever.
Run Python ./script for the named version or Python ./anon_script for the slightly more GDPR compliant version.
Try and follow through what the script is doing.
Check results output.csv or output2.csv
