I did some brief testing with another social media domain which was apparently supported at one time, according to the documentation (SocialMediaData).

Trying to use Linked in retrieved the following error messages:

It is interesting that the system is reporting an oAuth flow error about invalid consumer key. When it asked me to login, the consumer key (configured in Mma) is shown in the URL.

I do not believe that we (as users) can change this in the configuration…maybe it is exposed somewhere.

Thank you looking in to it folks. From what I read, FB blocked some access (and rightly so). Still data is available for those who've explicitly allowed (in FB) the apps to 'see' their info and activity. Still what they said will continue to work is not working.

You'll still be able to generate an analysis of most of your own activity on Facebook, but you won't have access to any information about your friends (except their names) unless they've also authorized our Facebook app.

I checked on FB at www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications and even after authorizing WolframAlpha app, I do not see it listed in my Apps. I went to App settings to explicitly allow it control over my information. How can I do so?

Yes, it was fun the first few times I tried it. I am big on personal analytics. I came back to revisit my analysis and compare with previously saved results. In fact, I wish to find some such tools for my multiple online activities like IMDb movie ratings, Fitbit activity tracking, WordPress activity, list.ly lists, and so on.

Thank you Daman:

I was able to use ServiceConnect[]/ServiceObject[] to successfully connect and extract data from Twitter, Facebook and Linked In.

There are varying levels of supported data, but I can guess that when I dig out the corresponding APIs, lots of information will be available.

Hi Yolanda,

Check the Documentation. The service names are hyperlinks, click on "Twitter" and it will take you to this page which has the details and examples.
