Example: Analyze Facebook with Qlikview

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 01:52:32 GMT

<body>I recently created an example loading Facebook data into a QlikView application. I have now uploaded the example to <a href="https://community.qlik.com/media/p/73579.aspx">http://community.qlik.com/media/p/73579.aspx</a> Feel free to play around and give me some feedback! Please ensure you have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed; otherwise the program that extracts data from facebook will throw exceptions. <bt></bt> <a href="https://community.qlik.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/11/6765.facebook.png"><img src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Discussions.Components.Files/11/6765.facebook.png" border="0" /></a></body>

Wow, that´s nice.

It would be great to load data from other social networks like xing, too. I can´t really appraise how difficult it would be to expand you export program for that.

Regards.

Unfortunately Xing does not offer any API to do that! Sorry..

They once tried to offer such an API, but because of some legal restrictions they had to stop it again.
See here for example: http://blog.thinkphp.de/archives/219-Xing-API-dat-war-wohl-nix!.html (in german)

Just to add that QV Source is an excellent piece of software, I am using it extensively for looking at Google Analytics data.

Highly recommend.
