Will the search pick up your terms when they occur in Groups that you’ve not joined yet? Any chance you can share the code on Github?


It's not searching the contents of groups but rather the groups themselves. Using Facebook's search functionality it searches the title or description of the group for my terms. For example:

https://www.facebook.com/search/groups/?q=vape&ref=top_filte...

My iMacros bot visits that URL and it just goes through the results, parsing the data listed on that page.

Here is the code uploaded as a Gist: https://gist.github.com/accidentalrebel/79fda4536f799f4a4873...

It's been awhile since I last touched this so not sure if it is the lastest or if it still works.

Goodluck!
