It might be easier to use the API

Sorry about that. Regardless, most of these social networks have APIs so you can integrate their content into other systems.

In order to scrape a site, you need two things.

1. The code you're working with. <which you included>
2. The HTML of the page you are trying to scrape.

I don't think scraping the page is a good approach. That's why they build APIs.

Also, people are more likely to help if you post the code, rather than a file.
