Facebook Album Downloader

A Python script to download Facebook albums even if you're not the album's owner. Facebook's built-in download feature requires album ownership and sometimes fails on large albums. With this script, you can download any album.

Usage

  1. Download the Repository:

    • Click on the 'Code' button at the top right of this page, then select 'Download ZIP'.
    • Extract the downloaded ZIP file.
  2. Edit the Configuration:

    • Open the 'albumDownloader.py' file with a text editor.
  3. Set the Album URL:

    • Find the 'ALBUM_URL' variable at the beginning of the 'doScraping()' function.
    • Replace 'ALBUM_URL' with the URL of the Facebook album you want to download. (Example: ALBUM_URL = https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.796525246431139&type=3)
  4. Install Dependencies:

    • You may need to install some dependencies, such as selenium and bs4. Just use:
      pip install selenium beautifulsoup4
  5. Run the Script:

    • Execute the script in your terminal or command prompt using Python 3:
      python3 albumDownloader.py

Note: I've done this for educational purposes (web scraping practice). Feel free to contribute or modify it to suit your needs.

Happy album downloading :)!
