(Version 3.5.0) optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit --version Shows the current version of the program. -u USERNAME [USERNAME ...], --username USERNAME [USERNAME ...] Defines one or more users for the search. -i ID [ID ...], --id ID [ID ...] Set the profile identification number. --use-txt TXT_FILE Replaces the USERNAME parameter with a user list in a txt. -S USER, --search USER It does a shallow search for the username. Replace the spaces with '.'(period). -b, --browser Opens the browser/bot. -v, -d, --verbose, --debug It shows in detail the data search process. -q, --quiet Eliminates and simplifies some script outputs for a simpler and more discrete visualization. search options: --filters Shows the list of available filters. -work WORK Sets the work filter. -education EDUCATION Sets the education filter. -city CITY Sets the city filter. profile options: -sf, --scrape-family If this parameter is passed, the information from family members will be scraped if available. --specify {0,1,2,3,4,5} [{0,1,2,3,4,5} ...] Use the index number to return a specific part of the page. about: 0, about_contact_and_basic_info: 1, about_family_and_relationships: 2, about_details: 3, about_work_and_education: 4, about_places: 5. -s, --several Returns extra data like profile picture, number of followers and friends. credentials: --email EMAIL If the profile is blocked, you can define your account, however you have the search user in your friends list. --password PASSWORD Set the password for your facebook account, this parameter has to be used with --email. output: -o, --file-output Save the output data to a .txt file. -c, --compact Compress all .txt files. Use together with -o. ``` **To search for a user:** ```auto User name: python3 fisherman.py -u name name.profile name.profile2 ID: python3 fisherman.py -i 000000000000 ``` The username must be found on the facebook profile link, such as: `https://facebook.com/name.profile/` It is also possible to load multiple usernames from a .txt file, this can be useful for a brute force output type: `python3 fisherman.py --use-txt filename.txt` Some profiles are limited to displaying your information for any account, so you can use your account to extract. Note: this should be used as the last hypothesis, and the target profile must be on your friends list: `python3 fisherman.py --email youremail@email.com --password yourpass` ## Some situations: For complete massive scrape: `python3 fisherman.py --use-txt file -o -c -sf` With a file with dozens of names on each line, you can make a complete “scan” taking your information and even your family members and will be compressed into a .zip at the output. - For specific parts of the account: ```auto Basic data: python3 fisherman.py -u name --specify 0 Family and relationship: python3 -u name --specify 2 It is still possible to mix: python3 fisherman.py -u name --specify 0 2 ``` - To get additional things like profile picture, how many followers and how many friends: `python3 fisherman.py -u name [-s | --several]` - For a short search by people’s name: `python3 fisherman.py [-S | --search] foo` Replace the spaces in the name with “.”(periods). The script returns around 30 profiles. `To filter the search:` `python3 fisherman.py -S name -work fisherman` If the filter has spaces, enclose it in quotes. - For a minimalist execution: `python3 fisherman.py [-q | --quiet]` Considerably reduces the script’s output texts and, by convention, improves performance. ### If you are using windows: [source](https://github.com/Godofcoffe/FisherMan/tree/compatible-with-windows) ### Contributing I would love to have your help in developing this project. Some things you can help me with: Add more search filters. Please look at the Wiki entry on Adding filters to the search argument to understand the issues. **This tool only extracts information that is public, not use for private or illegal purposes.** ## GitHub: [https://github.com/Godofcoffe/FisherMan](https://github.com/Godofcoffe/FisherMan)
