[...] alternative could be to register as Facebook developer and write your own application against the Facebook API to retrieve your data, but I’m not sure if most people would like to invest that much [...]

Nice post, those tips were really helpful. There are a lot of things to do on Facebook other than adding friends and joining groups.

Is there a way to export a friend’s wall or archive their wall? There has to be a faster way to view “older posts” without having to click older posts over and over.

I’ve never used FQL Queries before and I can’t seem to make it work.. I’m trying to find a way that I can download/save all of my wall posts. Does anyone know an easy way of doing this short of copying and pasting the lot? :P Or perhaps someone can give me a bit more instruction on how to use the FQL thing :D. Thanks!

You can execute the commands in the query section of developers.facebook.

However, I can only execute point 1 of Part 1. For the rest of the commands, FB gives the following: “error_code”: 104,
“error_msg”: “Requires valid signature”,

Is there a way to circumvent this?

Thanks!

Hi,

I like your guide very much. It’s far more complete than Socialsafe, Backupify, or ArchiveFb. However, I have a few questions.

1. Your link to API test console seems to be broken. Where do I enter my queries?

2. What will the backup copy look like? I’m sure it won’t have all the interface and such.

3. Is there a way to also download all the comments I’ve posted on other people’s walls/photos/status?

Thank you very much!

Photo you are tagged in!! I am investigate this with my application but apparently if the photo you are tagged in does not owned by your friend but owned by your friend’s friend. I cannot able to recognize that tag from the application

Thanks for the guide. I used Disco Explorer to back up my Wall, Links, and Notes, FacePad Firefox plugin to back up my photo albums (photos for the most part that I already have on my hard drive), and your Yahoo tips for emails — I’d like to try some of your other FQL tips, but I couldn’t find the Facebook API test console (your link is broken, couldn’t find another one quickly through google). I am not really a techie – I have a basic understanding of SQL (so those queries make some sense to me), and if I ever need the resulting JSON files, I’ll guess I’ll learn about it then . . .
