If you are a Facebook user though, you have little tools to explore your own social network. We are going to see how, with a few scraping tools, a Neo4j graph database and Linkurious, we can visualize our Facebook network. There is no easy solution to visualize your Facebook network.

Hervé Piedcoq, data analyst and OSINT expert is going to show you a method to 1) collect, 2) store and 3) visualize your Facebook network. 1st step : download your friends’ list We will use OutWit Hub, a powerful yet easy to use scraper, based on Mozilla and XUL.
