Extracting data from background - Facebook - facebook
I am inspecting a page on Facebook now. These describers indicate that some interesting data is being gathered on the users, but I can't find it.
Is there a way to extract the data? (i.e. userborn, males, females, gpslocation) from the response below:
["user","page","group","app","event","friendlist","shortcut"],"browse_functions":{"intersect":{"numParamsUnbounded":true,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":100,"allowsFreeText":false},"fuzzy-intersect":{"numParamsUnbounded":true,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":100,"allowsFreeText":false},"union":{"numParamsUnbounded":true,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":100,"allowsFreeText":false},"fbids":{"numParamsUnbounded":true,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":100,"allowsFreeText":false},"story-fbids":{"numParamsUnbounded":true,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":100,"allowsFreeText":false},"all":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"pages":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"users":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"present":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"past":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"future":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"ever":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"ever-past":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"class":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"date":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"after":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"before":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"duration-past":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":2,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"duration-future":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":2,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-age":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-younger":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-older":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-born":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-interested":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-named":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":true},"users-birth-place":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":2,"allowsFreeText":false},"females":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":0,"allowsFreeText":false},"males":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":0,"maxNumParams":0,"allowsFreeText":false},"members":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"friends":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"online-friends":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"non-friends":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"acquaintances":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"close-friends":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"restricted-friends":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"followers":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"users-followed":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"creators":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"admins":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"contacts":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"groups":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"non-groups":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"groups-privacy":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"groups-named":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":true},"groups-about":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"communities":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"communities-named":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":true},"relatives":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"siblings":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":false},"brothers":{"numParamsUnbounded":false,"minNumParams":1,"maxNumParams":1,"allowsFreeText":fal

Sorry, but there isn't any information in there. You just copied past some bunch of useless codes.
There is no hidden information, those hashes are only used for their needs, and there's nothing we can actually do to fully analyse it.
Well, we can obviously parse those data, but what will it serve to? You don't even know what does for instance numParamsUnbounded means. What do you want to do when you got it parsed? You'll just got the same thing.
Between, it's not HTLM, but HTML, and this code isn't even HTML.
#Jake_Mill22 these are parameters utilized on the Facebook Graph and it's search. It's basically a graph traversal-based search that goes on behind the scenes, and is also based on Set theory. Your search consists of some filterings on entities (people, places, pages, groups, etc) by their semantic relationships to one another. For example:
https://www.facebook.com/search/str/rock%20music/pages-named/likers/str/stack%20overflow/pages-named/likers/intersect
Says show me all people who both like pages on Facebook with "rock music" in their names who also like other pages with "Stack Overflow" in their names.
You can put together some pretty interesting queries. Check out here for more info here:

How to examine what a facebook 'topic' encapsulates?
When selecting topics for facebook ads, many are duplicates. If my experience with databases has taught me anything, it's that humans enter data in all sorts of ways. So I guess facebook's algorithms have found 'topics' based on how humans have entered them. So I guess duplicates could result because of a trailing space or something like that. From the UI, I cannot tell the difference between topics which appear identical, but which may have very different followings (e.g. one may have 10m associated users, another might just have 100 if it's an uncommon typo with a trailing space). How can I view more information on facebook 'topics'? Is there an API call for this? Example Here is an example of a duplicate topic Here's where the topics can be found (requires login) NB: as a corollary to the above, when there are duplicates (or triplets) is it beneficial to select all of them, or is selecting just one enough to maximise the effect?
You can find the solution by creating an ad from the Business Manager. Short answer is that the duplicates belong to different categories. In your case, if you look for "Sonic drive-in", Facebook will give you the following choices (see pic): Sonic drive-in as interest (e.g. to target those who like a related page) Stackoverflow as an employer (to target those working there) So, it depends on what you need for your ads.
How much, what order and where to put data?
I've been updating and moving my massage business website to Wordpress. During SEO process I interested and decided to include some structured data but I'm bit confused how to do it properly. I'm going to test that stuff first on my current site. I'm going to present information with JSON-LD and I've been reading alot of schema-org manuals and blog posts about the schemas, still they are bit vaque to me. How much data should I provide? I still would like to present list of services we provide and price range by currency/min/maxPrice and persons data who are working there (name, profession, phone). Would it be wise to put that data in the <head>-section of every page? Or just specific data to page that they relate to like staff info to "Contact Us" page and service list to "Services" page? Is there any penalty or down sides to have all that data on every page? How do I present personal courses that every person has taken or other studies? How do I present those services? Can business under that HealthAndBeautyBusiness handle 3 phone numbers with names or should I just put contact info under person's data? Does it matter in which order I present that data?
The more data you provide, the better Better to be specific, otherwise it could be interpreted as spam. The structured data should be closely related to the content of the page itself You mean the employees? You could use the employee property and the alumniOf properties but that doesn't match it very well. I think such data is a bit too detailed to be described at the moment - I would omit it for the time being List them as offers, see makesOffer property I would limit it to 1 number The order doesn't matter In the future try to split your questions, would be much easier to answer them that way.
I'm going to present information with JSON-LD and I've been reading alot of schema-org manuals and blog posts about the schemas, still they are bit vaque to me. In regards to this statement. If I were you, and I'm not, therefore I can only assume you are just learning about technologies such as json-ld and how they relate to the bigger picture that is the Semantic Web also known as Web 3.0. It sounds like you are on the right track I would suggest additionally reading articles relating to api's as well as the http request life cycle. -Happy Coding
What is the significance of OrderedFriendsListInitialData?
When you're logged in, in the page source, there is a list called OrderedFriendsListInitialData. According to rumour, it's a list of people that visit your profile the most, others say that it's a list of profiles you view the most, and yet other say it's the friends you interact with the most. Can anyone shed some light on this by providing a definitive answer, or at least an educated one?
If You check the code You will notice it has something to do with right sidebar. Just before it in there is this url https://s-static.ak.facebook.com/rsrc.php/yT/r/q-Drar4Ade6.ogg As it is JSON string obviously it has to be related, file this url is pointing at is sound notification for chat. As You may notice it is initial data not chat list probably later chat script use this data to fill up people on list and make some extra check etc.. There is word ordered as well, Myself I'm not really active on facebook so have no way of checking it but it is known that fb analyses all Your steps and make this list based on thousands of factors to provide You with list of users You are likely to chat. You father may be there because fb knows You are family and consider it as high possibility of conversation. Send email to them If You want details.
Well in the time passed since you first posted this they've changed the name of the list to InitialChatFriendsList which I suppose is a little more descriptive of what it is, but as far as how they determine what to put on there I think my friends and I have come up with a very plausible explanation. When determining who you are most likely to communicate with on their chat system, facebook will obviously use a whole number of factors weighted differently to determine who you most want to talk to and who you most need to talk to. the most important is who you actually talk to... who on fb chat that you communicate with most frequently will obviously show up on your chat list. who you have public interactions w/ (i.e tagging in at some location, picture tagging, actual wall comments etc.) Now those two are two very large factors when determining who they put on your list, beyond that it is a combination of who looks at your page and whose page you look at. Based on my list and the list of my friends, we determined that if you are inclined to look at somebody else's page/posts a lot and they are likely to do the same for you, they will move up in rank even if you don't have an actual interactions on facebook. A couple of people who I would admit to "stalking" the most on fb are not even on my list (at least not on the top 50 which is where i stopped checking) while other people who I do occasionally look at and I have reason to believe they would be looking at my profile as well are fairly high on my list (around 10-15th place). And of course there are the completely random individuals who show up on the list who probably are stalkers. Anyways, my point is there are so many factors that determine who is going to be on this list, you really can't just attribute it all to people who stalk you and people you stalk. While in for some people that would be the case, for most of the people on the list there is a whole list of reasons they're on there. Of course this is all based on a very small pool of data, so who knows...
I think it may be the list of people who are on the top part of your chat list - the people you're statistically most likely to talk to. But! I may be wrong.
It definitely is the people who facebook considers are the most likely you are going to chat with. There are two lists of people in chat, one of the above, and the other friends who are online.
I believe the first 3 are accurate. When I checked for myself, my boyfriend was one, and my two best friends were 2 & 3. Everything after that seems to be a bit random, because #4 was a person I haven't interacted with for years.
From the two approaches I list, which one is better for CMS page management and why?
Here are the two scenarios: First one: You have a CMS you log into go to the page manager, select a template, then add a page into the system, edit the page, save it done. Second one: You sign in, then go to the URL you want to exist but doesn't exist yet but still shows up as a template to enter in stuff. For example, "/articles/article" and since the URLs were mapped to be dynamic, the article template shows up and has the placeholders to edit right there. Different types of pages or templates would be mapped to different URL patterns such as "/product/[product-number]" etc etc. Is there any security concerns for doing the latter since I like the second one better in terms of programming as there is no management of pages, just authentication then navigating to the desired page. The first one is more structured and is good listing them out or individiual permission settings. Please advise.
Beyond the authentication considerations, I think both approaches are fine. I see them as ultimately accomplishing the same thing through different user experiences. To answer the question, I would paper prototype each, then pull users into a room and perform a quick / informal usability study, giving them tasks such as "create a page with ..." etc. Evaluate which model performed better. You really should answer this question by including the users that will use the system.
How does Facebook search work?
More specifically, what factors determine the priorities they assign in response to a given query? I'm looking for answers that address numerous scenarios including queries that... Specify the "type" of result (objects such as users, posts, pages, etc. or connections like friendships, likes, tags, etc.), Have authentication tokens as well as ones that don't. Have conditionals such as "since" and "until." Don't even specify a type, such as this search for the word query.
I am actually working on an app that uses /search to search places and I use a bit of all scenarios. I couldn't write down a specific order they appear in and to be honest I highly doubt it's something as easy. I'm 99% sure it works like the Search in Facebook does, using the user data to bring up the most relevant results. I live in Ireland for 2 years now, but while testing the app I constantly receive search results from Romania and actually close to my Hometown, which are relevant to me. Regarding your observations, Facebook's algorithms might take into account the source of the request as well - which would be good, means it only improves as your app gets more users.
