fb-sleep-stats's Introduction

fb-sleep-stats: Using Facebook to track your friends' sleep

A small tool to show the potential privacy implications modern social media have. By tracking online/offline status of people on Facebook, it is possible to get an accurate image of their sleep pattern.

Installation

Prerequisites

Git (how to install)
Node.js (how to install)

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/sqren/fb-sleep-stats.git

Configuration

Open the source code folder:

cd fb-sleep-stats

Copy the default config file:

cp config/default.json config/development.json

Update the following values in config/development.json

Make sure there are no trailing tabs or spaces in the config file!

Install dependencies

npm install

Build browser dependencies

npm run webpack

Starting

You need to have two processes running simultaniously: the scraper and the webserver. Therefore, you must run the following two commands in separate windows/tabs.

Start scraping

This will run continously, polling Facebook every 10 minutes. Keep it running for as long as you want to track sleep.

npm run scrape

Start server

npm start

See the result in the browser: http://localhost:3000

#Troubleshooting

I get an error when running "npm run webpack"

Try re-installing the node-modules:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run webpack

No users show up

If you have an ad-blocker, you must disable it for the site.
You need to run npm run scrape and keep it running. When you stop it, it will stop tracking.

Changes to development.json are not picked up

You have to run npm run webpack

How do I update to the latest version?

After pulling the latest version, you must rebuild the dependencies:

git pull
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run webpack

ReferenceError: Promise is not defined

Update Node.js to the latest stable version of the branch you are on (v5.7.1, v4.3.2 or v0.12.11). After that rebuild dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm run webpack

Cannot parse config file

Your config file contains invalid json. Find the errors by using a tool like http://jsonlint.com/

Where is the data stored?

You can find the data in JSON-format here: src/server/services/db.json.

Other issues

If you encounter a bug or have a problem, please go to Issues and use the search functionality, in case someone else already asked the question. If you can't find anything helpful you are very welcome to create a new issue

There definitely are active users on my fb right now so not sure why that message shows.

Change

How change xs, appid and c_user?

Server Error

After pulling the recent changes i'm getting this error when try to access to server

Could not get list [TypeError: _(...).map(...).orderBy is not a function]

No stack trace or anything, so i don't where the error is.

can't access localhost:3000

I've setup according to the step-by-step procedure, and turn out when accessing localhost:3000 returning "This webpage is not available
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

I've checked /src/server/services/db.json does exist the json information.

Do I miss something to install?

White Page when viewing scraping results

I've been scraping for about 30 minutes, and the result page when running npm start is completely white. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, everything else seems to work fine.

Here is a screenshot:

For those looking to start this...

Couple of extra steps.

You need to create a new Facebook app with http://localhost:3000 added to the domains.
Change the appId inside src/browser/services/facebook.js to the newly created appId
To start the server, run npm run build-minified before starting the server. You can also run forever-scrape and forever-server for a more permanent solution.

Pull too often - throttling issue?

I can't confirm for sure, but I set the time to 60 after installing to get data faster to play around with. After some time I was getting some error:

Polling every 60 seconds

I stopped the pooling and then restarted it with default 600 seconds and it hasn't run into an error yet. It barely passed the 10 minute mark though:D.

Can anyone confirm Facebook throttling this in some way? Or is this buddyList some other error (didn't look through the code yet, my apologies :D).

And Kudos to Søren!

Elaborate on a few steps please

Hi Søren, thank you for releasing this. It's a great way of showing how public our data is in contrary to talking or discussing it.

I would like to ask you (or somebody else) if you could elaborate on the steps "Install dependencies", "Build browser dependencies" and "Starting" section. I don't know what to do at these steps. I am using Mac OS X and not experienced with programming in this way although I am super excited to see my friends sleeping patterns and confronting them with it!

I hope to be able to run this soon too.

Kind regards,

Nikki

Sleep period not registered for some off-cycles

I've noticed a guy on my list who went early to bed and got up again early. Knowing him this is not a surprise, yet the graph didn't conclude he slept at all! Is there a kind of boundary for when an absence is registered as sleep?

This is ~24 hours of his activity. And here's his activity timestamps from the rest API.

Bad data ruining charts: one data point is from ~24 years ago

My charts are ruined by old data - is it possible to remove this data/fix it.

blank page, even after clicking login to app on localhost webpage

Hey I followed the guide and everything is working, except that the information is not being displayed. The output file db.json has been created and i clicked the facebook login icon login, but nothing happens after that.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <

Looks like bundle.js is missing? There is no "bundle.js" in "public"

is time zone considered?

I have some friends who are on the other side of the world. I see that the app considers that no activity after 8 pm is "sleep". however for some of my friends on other side of the world, is it local 8 PM or 8 PM at my time zone?

Can't access the data from anywhere but localhost

I understand this is as intended, but how can it be changed? For instance, I want to run this on my Raspberry Pi but when I do and load the page on my laptop, I click on the "log in to facebook" button and I'm met with

Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.

I have no experience with Facebook apps and I've been at this for a while with no success. It was easy to get up and running on my desktop, but this tiny problem is really making it difficult on the Pi and I'd rather not leave my computer on for days at a time if possible.

how to change the value of config

sorry but im new to using Terminal on mac
after cp config/default.json config/development.json

how do i change the values in the config?

What went wrong here?

Blank after login in, no users

Everything is setup correctly but after i login to allow sleep stats to access data, nothing is shown, no users, just blank page with a search bar?

The scraper only gets some friends

The scraper only gets a subset of my friends. I saw some people were active few mins ago while the scraper did not take the timestamps and their name and put it in the db. Anyone else seem to be having the same issue?

Can't remove on windows

There is no easy way to remove this on windows. So many folders with such long names, makes them unable for windows to read them, so once installed, you have to rename or move every folder to be able to delete.

"npm run webpack" error

I get an error when running "npm run webpack"

I tried rm -rf node_modules npm install npm run webpack

But

rm -rf node_modules
rm is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Only runs for a short period of time showing a few friends

Everything seems to work properly with no errors, but when running the app it stops showing results after about 15-20 minutes. It also only shows a select few of my friends. In addition, nothing appears under period or duration.

I have been running it for around 3 hours now, and still the only entries are from the first 15 minutes or so.

"Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration" on non-localhost server

The server works fine on my local machine with my own AppId, but when I tried running it on a cloud instance, Facebook's OAuth window gave me this error: Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration. Has anyone gotten it to work on a remote ip / domain?

Because my server only has an IP address, I also tried setting one in my /etc/hosts file and configuring my facebook app to use that domain, but I still get the same error.

Can i change it so it scrapes every minute?

And if i can, what difference would actually make? Why 10 minutes the default?

Scrape failing? Could not get users: Promise is not defined undefined

Hey, haven't been able to debug this properly. On running npm run scrape, it clearly gets as far as pulling the active users (and users object has their IDs)... but then I see this Promises-related error:

Could not get users: Promise is not defined undefined

Here's it is with a few lines for context...

> node ./scrape.js

Tue Feb 23 2016 07:45:17 GMT-0500 (EST)  -  1 active users
A error occured while scraping. Please check to make sure your development.json config is correct
Tue Feb 23 2016 07:45:17 GMT-0500 (EST)  - Could not get users: Promise is not defined undefined

Not sure if it's working or failing before the pulled data gets persisted anywhere.

The stats/dashboard sidebar doesn't present any user records.

Thoughts?

"c_user": "whateverthefuck"
