Just be careful, Facebook monitors for scraping activity and has deleted accounts over this in the past.

Would be great if it offered a variable sleep option, to make it a bit less of a dead giveaway.

I used http://www.cleanmywall.net/ which was scrapping for over 12h, also used https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ficlccidpkaiepnnbo... to export my friends and luckily I wasn't banned. I wonder what are the criteria to get banned for scrapping.
