Social Media Collector
Collection and Parsing of Facebook, Instagram and more.
Collection and Parsing of Meta, Snapchat, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.
Overview
Hearsay moves beyond brittle web scraping to provide a robust Social Media Collector. Our platform ingests and parses official data exports (DYI - Download Your Information) from Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads) and others. Our parser extracts the raw underlying data—Direct Messages, posts, comments, likes, and connection lists—and reconstructs them into a reviewable, searchable, and naturally threaded format. This ensures that every piece of evidence is preserved with full metadata integrity.
Our platform ingests and parses official data exports (DYI - Download Your Information) from Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads), LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and others. Unlike standard crawlers that often miss data or return broken PDFs, our parser extracts the raw underlying data—Direct Messages, posts, comments, likes, and connection lists—and reconstructs them into a reviewable, searchable, and naturally threaded format. This ensures that every piece of evidence, from private DMs to obscure emoji reactions, is preserved with full metadata integrity.
