Facebook Groups Exporter

This browser extension allows users to export all of their Facebook groups into a JSON file, including each group's link and name.

Features

• Fetches the user's Facebook groups.
• Reliably handles very large lists (1,000+ groups) by harvesting groups incrementally while scrolling, before Facebook removes off-screen cards from the page.
• Automatically de-duplicates groups.
• Split mode: save your groups across multiple files of 150 groups each. Every group appears in exactly one file, and together the files cover all of your groups (deduped).
• Live progress feedback while scrolling.
• Exports group data in a structured JSON format.
• User-friendly popup interface for initiating the export process.

Installation

Option A: Download and install from official the chrome webstore.

Option B:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/facebook-groups-exporter.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd facebook-groups-exporter
   

3. Open your browser and go to the extensions page (e.g., chrome://extensions for Chrome).
4. Enable "Developer mode" (usually a toggle in the top right corner).
5. Click on "Load unpacked" and select the facebook-groups-exporter directory.

Usage

1. Click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar.
2. (Optional) Toggle Split mode if you want multiple files of 150 groups each instead of one large file.
3. Click the Export Groups button. The extension will auto-scroll your Facebook Groups page to find every group.
4. When complete, a JSON file (or several, in split mode) will download containing your group data.

?? For accounts with 1,000+ groups the scroll-and-harvest process can take a few minutes — leave the tab in the foreground until it finishes.
