web_data_facebook_events

Extract structured Facebook events data using event URLs to access reliable information for analysis or integration.

Instructions

Quickly read structured Facebook events data. Requires a valid Facebook event URL. This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping

Implementation Reference

  • server.js:497-505 (registration)
    Dataset configuration defining the ID 'facebook_events', dataset_id, description, and inputs ['url'] used to register and parameterize the 'web_data_facebook_events' tool.
    id: 'facebook_events', dataset_id: 'gd_m14sd0to1jz48ppm51', description: [ 'Quickly read structured Facebook events data.', 'Requires a valid Facebook event URL.', 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping', ].join('\n'), inputs: ['url'], }, {
  • Dynamically builds the Zod input schema for the tool based on dataset 'inputs' field. For 'facebook_events', creates parameters: { url: z.string().url() }.
    let parameters = {}; for (let input of inputs) { let param_schema = input=='url' ? z.string().url() : z.string(); parameters[input] = defaults[input] !== undefined ? param_schema.default(defaults[input]) : param_schema; } addTool({ name: `web_data_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters),
  • The core handler logic that triggers the BrightData dataset collection using the specific dataset_id, polls for the snapshot to complete, and returns the JSON data.
    execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }), });
  • Helper wrapper applied to all tool handlers, providing rate limiting, usage statistics tracking, logging, and enhanced error handling.
    function tool_fn(name, fn){ return async(data, ctx)=>{ check_rate_limit(); debug_stats.tool_calls[name] = debug_stats.tool_calls[name]||0; debug_stats.tool_calls[name]++; debug_stats.session_calls++; let ts = Date.now(); console.error(`[%s] executing %s`, name, JSON.stringify(data)); try { return await fn(data, ctx); } catch(e){ if (e.response) { console.error(`[%s] error %s %s: %s`, name, e.response.status, e.response.statusText, e.response.data); let message = e.response.data; if (message?.length) throw new Error(`HTTP ${e.response.status}: ${message}`); } else console.error(`[%s] error %s`, name, e.stack); throw e; } finally { let dur = Date.now()-ts; console.error(`[%s] tool finished in %sms`, name, dur); } }; }
