Importing data from online forums
Posted: 10 May 2018 05:09
Hi everyone, I just downloaded gephi recently for a project and I was just wondering if it is possible to import data from another online forum. I'm not very tech savvy so please be kind!
Some background: I'm doing research for a class on online forums, and I'd like to see how connected the users in that forum are to each other (anonymously, I just want to see the patterns of the nodes). Is there a way I can import data from that site into gephi in order to see how the nodes are connected, or is this asking for too much? I'm not sure how to go about solving this problem in general so any advice about programs or anything is sincerely appreciated!
