Hi everybody,

it seems I cannot use the NodeXL as my Excel version for Mac is not compatible. Anyhow, it might not be what I need. What I need is to be able to extract the user commentary from YouTube from a specific videos. It seems this is not possible with NodeXL as it seems to concentrate on visualisation of data. I will carry out a qualitative analysis of the comment exchanges between viewers.

I tried to figure out the Google API, I'm under the impression there is a command that would allow you to extract the commentary to Excel by way of the =importXML query, but obviously I need the command line…and I'm not an engineer or a coder, unfortunately.

Would there be anyone who would know how to do this? I appreciate any comments and suggestions and thank you all in advance :)

Best,
Anu

Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. Thanks Anja, Stu, Jacob,
Lauri and Joan !
I have tried and looked at all your suggestions.

What fits most to my research requirements is DiscoverText and NodeXL. I am
still doing some trials with both of them to decide the best one for me but
I have a good understanding now of their functionality and of other
software tools.

I would love to help anyone with this if you ask.

Dear Professors and colleagues,

I am starting a research using facebook data. I am newbie in this area
and
looking for a software or a way to automatically extract historical
facebook data from (Arabic) facebook pages.

Data needed include:
- posts;
- comments;
- date &time of posts and comments; and
- some information about people that post and comment
(for example: name, gender, age, location,...etc as much as we can get).

I tried NodeXL. It helped me collect much of these requirements but not
the
*date/time *of posts and comments and this is crucial for my study. I aim
to study a social phenomenon and its evolution through time.


*Can anyone advice or suggest another software?*


I appreciate your advice/comments,
Thank you all,
Yours,
*Noha A.Nagi*
