Facebook Event Sourcing

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Here's our second content source, and probably the most important.

The ideal way to accurately scrape events from Facebook has two actions:

  • Scraping events directly from Facebook pages (when they post about an event, or make a new event, we post that)
  • Scraping html/rss for Facebook URL's

To import facebook/dom feeds:

  • We'll use a systems called "feeds" (showhaus.org/feeds)
  • The idea is that users can import their own feeds or others, in an effort to collect shows. Below is a wireframe of how it should roughly look

Issues:

  • Facebook events don't have "subtitles", so we'll have to figure out a way around that in QA
