Collects all Facebook events of all groups a user is in a text and html file.

Result: https://christianbrugger.github.io/events.cbrugger/index.html

First collect all events by running:

python get_all_events.py

This will generate the file all_event_ids.txt containing all event ids.

Then run

python get_event_times.py

This will collect all event times in all_event_times.txt.

Then run

python parse_events_from_file.py

This will generate the text and html file events.txt and events_*.html.

Also the index.html is updated.

Alternatively you can run

run_all.bat

This will run all the above commands in sequence.

Copy the file credentials_template.py and name it credentials.py.

Enter your Facebook username and password.
