To search for a user:
- User name:
python3 fisherman.py -u name name.profile name.profile2 - ID:
python3 fisherman.py -i 000000000000
The username must be found on the facebook profile link, such as:
https://facebook.com/name.profile/
It is also possible to load multiple usernames from a .txt file, this can be useful for a brute force output type:
python3 fisherman.py --use-txt filename.txt
Some profiles are limited to displaying your information for any account, so you can use your account to extract. Note: this should be used as the last hypothesis, and the target profile must be on your friends list:
python3 fisherman.py --email [email protected] --password yourpass
Some situations:
-
For complete massive scrape:
python3 fisherman.py --use-txt file -o -c -sfWith a file with dozens of names on each line, you can make a complete “scan” taking your information and even your family members and will be compressed into a .zip at the output.
-
For specific parts of the account:
- Basic data:
python3 fisherman.py -u name --specify 0 - Family and relationship:
python3 -u name --specify 2 - It is still possible to mix:
python3 fisherman.py -u name --specify 0 2
- Basic data:
-
To get additional things like profile picture, how many followers and how many friends:
python3 fisherman.py -u name -s
