Pull comments from Facebook API (Python, JSON)
Question: I want to pull all comments from all posts the last 24 hours using the
Facebook API. Currently, I can only pull from a certain data range of posts as
the Facebook API only allows "since" and "until" to be used under posts. I
can't seem to use those parameters for comments. So for example, with my code
currently, I cannot pull today's comments from a post that was posted in
April. **Has anyone been able to pull comments from all posts in the last 24
hours without including the posts?** This is my code so far:

    
    
    import facebook
    import requests
    import json
    import urllib
    import urllib2
    import time
    
    now = 1439769600
    thyme = int(time.time())
    since = int((thyme - 0.7 * 60 * 1000))
    
    user = 'INSERT USER ID/NUMBER'
    access_token = 'INSERT ACCESS TOKEN'
    url = ' https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/' + user + '?fields=posts.until' + '(' + str(now) + ')' + '.since' + '(' + str(since) + ')' + '.limit(100)%7Bcreated_time%2Cmessage%2Ccomments.limit(1000)%7Bcreated_time%2Cmessage%7D%7D&access_token='
    
    html = url + access_token
    print html
    
    data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(html))
    with open('here.txt', 'w') as textfile:
        json.dump(data, textfile)
    


Answer: No worries I came up with the code that solves everything for me:

    
    
    import facebook
    import requests
    import json
    import urllib
    import urllib2
    
    #def some_action(post):
        #print posts['data']
     #   print(post['created_time'])
    
    access_token = 'ENTER ACCESS TOKEN'
    url = 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.4/ENTER FACEBOOK USERNAME/IDNUMBER FOLLOWED BY ?fields=posts.since(1406851200).limit(50)%7Bcreated_time%2Cmessage%2Ccomments.limit(2000)%7Bcreated_time%2Cmessage%7D%7D&access_token='
    
    html = url + access_token
    
    data = json.load(urllib2.urlopen(html))
    with open('penguin.txt', 'w') as textfile:
        json.dump(data, textfile)
