These are the detailed instructions for how to scrape a story from Facebook Spotted: 
  • You should have the Permalink URL of a Spotted story
  • Open that link using browser profile chrome on Tony Laptop Chrome
  • Load all of the story and all of the comments
  • Click the "Most relevant" dropdown → switch to "All comments"
  • Wait for all comments to load. Facebook is slow, so give it plenty of time
  • Scroll repeatedly in the relevant open tab until all comments are visible
  • Click on all the "View X Replies"
  • Once all replies have loaded and opened, select the entire post and all replies
  • Paste the post to a Google Doc with a descriptive name based on the post
  • Echo the Google doc name and URL to the active agent output space
