Description

Import friends birthdays from facebook to your favorite calendar.

With this extension you will
- Follow and never miss your Facebook friends' birthdays.
- Generate and export a calendar with all your Facebook friends' birthdays.
- See number of your friends having birthday today at the extension "cake" icon.
- Have a birthdays' calendar overview.

The birthdays calendar can be exported in `ICS` format.
Dates of birth can be downloaded as the `CSV` file as well.

* ICS is a universal calendar format used by Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, and Apple Calendar.
* CSV file format used by Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

At the end of the process a file named `birthday-calendar.ics` will be downloaded automatically to your Downloads folder.
Use the generated file to import your friends' birthdays to your favorite calendar program.
I strongly recommend creating a new Birthday themed sub-calendar and use it for imports.

FAQ
Question: I have accidentally exported birthdays to my main calendar, how to reverse it?
Answer: Only Google Calendar properly supports event removal. Head to the "Download Calendar" tab and use "Delete Imported ICS from Google Calendar". A file named `delete-birthday-calendar.ics` will be downloaded. Import the file to the respective calendar.

Question: Is it possible to remove some of the contacts before importing to the calendar?
Answer: There is command line tool you can use: https://github.com/guenter-r/calendar_file_splitter

Scanned and was able to export however did experience an error. It asked me to set the language but it was already set to UK. "Script was able to scan all the months, but December. Old Facebook api is used to scan December, please change Facebook language to English (UK), English (US), Русский, Українська or עברית, and scan again." The exported file is corrupted with error message: Imported 0 out of 0 events. Unable to process your ical/CSV file. Birthdays are only visible in the extension.

Scanned and was able to export however did experience an error. It asked me to set the language but it was already set to US. "SCAN_LOG_CHECK_LOGIN_ERROR_LANGUAGE" Worked 👌
