Getting my posts off of facebook
By mraeryceos
I have both a facebook profile, and a facebook page. What would be the easiest way to get my posts off of facebook, in a form that is easy to import into elgg? Is there a plugin for this?

You must log in to post replies.Facebook's api does not allow to export data from facebook, only user information for authentication. Same for linkedIn. So there is no plugin
I have to correct myself here. FB seems to have a way to use embed posts. I will have a closer look.
Last I checked, you can export facebook data. But the formatting is complex and not meant to be imported into something else. It will take some work with regular expressions.
This is called scraping. It's a fragile and unreliable method of getting data from a site.
You can export the data in JSON or XML format using the graph apis.
Then you can import these to elgg through the elgg apis
