Facebook Profile URL Finder
Finds the Facebook profiles for a name with Facebook's own people search: each result's profile URL and name, into a CSV.
What it extracts
How it works
- Log in to Facebook once in Chrome, in the profile you will use for the robot.
- In Setup Vars, set
profile_dirto that Chrome profile folder. Chrome cannot open a profile another Chrome window has open: close Chrome before the run, or use a profile of its own. - Run the flow and enter what to search for (for example
Sharad Cholera) when prompted. - The flow opens the page with your login, reads each field, and saves the result as
facebook-profile-url-finder.csvin your home folder.
The selectors were made with Robomotion's Web Inspector and tested on pages they were not made on. They name sections by their headings and fields by their labels, never by the values they read.
