Importing facebook birthdays in ics calendar format

Facebook has removed the ability to subscribe to ical for birthdays of your friends.. It was a really useful feature and I wanted to export facebook birthdays. So, here's what I did.

  • Go to facebook birthdays url.
  • Using this python script export facebook birthdays in csv format.
  • Then using this website convert csv to ical.
  • Finally import the ical file in calendar.
