Hi, FaceGrab lets you download anyone's Facebook full-size profile image from their username or userid without any need for login. It uses Facebook's Graph search.<p>This project was a code sprint. I started it when I needed an image set for a machine learning problem. I came across a Facebook graph feature which returns full-size profile images. I thought I could use this feature to programmatically generate a data-set of actual images. I consulted Facebook about the use of this feature as bug, they responded that the profile pictures are public and its not their responsibility.<p>So, I created this to generate a data-set of Facebook profile images. I think it could be useful for developers requiring a big image data-set for image processing or machine learning applications, or maybe more. Any comments are welcome.
And if you want to scrape a list of Facebook usernames to use with this, Facebook makes that easy too: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/directory/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/directory/</a><p>It's against the ToS to do so, but of course Facebook is willing to expose all that information for anyone willing to break the rules.
