Extracting data from social media networks

I am trying to create a Web application which will be able to analyze social media profiles. The social networking sites I want to analyze are Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

I would like to use Data Extraction tool APIs as my back-end. Many of the tools I have found are either expensive or do not work.

I have researched on the Facebook, Twitter and YouTube API among others such as NodeXL.

Would anyone suggest any free available APIs which I could use please? Preferably ones which would not be too difficult to implement.

Solution

  • Twitter REST API https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public

    Facebook Graph API https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api

    Youtube API https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

    These are the publicly available API's you are looking for.
