[Air-L] Nvivo for facebook pages

[paigealfonzo at gmail.com]

I highly second Maurice's  recommendation to use R. I have used Ncapture in the past but it is super limited. Facebook and Twitter have open APIs so they're super conducive for scraping data with R. For my current research I just started using the Rtwitter and have found it to be fairly easy to use once I learned basics in R (I have no coding experience and was able to figure it out). This site is very useful for using the Rfacebook package: https://bigdataenthusiast.wordpress.com/2016/03/19/mining-facebook-data-using-r-facebook-api/.

Instead of Python you could also use Rfacebook (
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rfacebook/index.html) within R. R
also has packages for other social media and of course all sorts of
(statistical) analyses.
R has a steep learning curve, but once you've mastered it you can use it
for all types of research, not only for analysis but also for data
collection through API's or web scraping (see
https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html).

Hope this helps
