In this article, I will introduce you to an amazing tool known as Open Source Information Facebook (OSIF) for scraping publicly available Facebook user data from their profiles quickly using your terminal.
Note: I strongly recommend you to create and use a fake account while using this tool and storing someone's details without their concern is illegal.
Features Of Open Source Information Facebook (OSIF)

How To Setup OSIF On Linux/Termux
Open your terminal and type the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Ciku370/OSIF
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
If you see "pip error" on your terminal then first you have to set a virtual environment to use pip by typing the following commands
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
python2 osif.py
Usage:-
$ python2 osif.py -h
You need to create a fake account on Facebook (Using the Tempmail website) and get a token then you can use all the features.
Note:- If you want to log in with your original Facebook account then first you need to off two-factor authentication. But we don't recommend you to use the original Facebook account use on own risk.
