Facebook Groups Manager Assistant - Using Wolfram Language?

We already have the Wolfram Technical Services on this project to come up for us a solution but want to put it out there in the community, in case anyone has some feedback. Also, once the code is written for us by Wolfram Research we will share the Wolfram Language Code in this thread in the hopes the community can help us expand upon it, or give us ideas or feedback. The overarching goal is to use the wolfram langue to help us mange information such as the users coming and going from any given Facebook Group (something I am surprised that Facebook by itself does not allow without using a standard API). This can come in the form of a simple who is part of the group NOW list, and who has been a part of the group in the PAST list. Currently we have to do this all manually by looking through and comparing the names alphabetically with a list we keep in Excel and when people leave the group we must go through alphabetically and see who is missing, this is fine if you have just a few hundred members but any more and this becomes a very time consuming and daunting task. This is the first objective to automate this behavior but will quickly need to be expanded to bridge over hundreds of Facebook groups and deciphering who is in which groups and running statistical analysis on the data (all groups in which our small team are Admins and/or help to Manage). Although it’s going to be much more expansive then this, a simple query of names and comparison of who is coming and going is the place we will be are starting. If anyone has a starting point so we do not have to have all the code written by scratch or if anyone in the group as some feature they would like to see in an updated version of a “Facebook Groups Manager Assistant” written in the Wolfram Langue let us know any idea or feedback in this thread and eventually if we are selves cannot figure it out, or anyone in the community is not sure, we will have Wolfram Technical Services help us with the code and share it with the community as something that we believe will not only benefit our project, but hopefully benefit other members in the Wolfram community. Happy Coding in the Wolfram Langue!
