Popis: The paper considers the task of analyzing complex interconnected objects using graph construction. There is no unified tool for constructing graphs. Some solutions can build graphs limited by the number of nodes, while others do not visually display data. The Gephi application was used to construct graphs for the research. Gephi has great functionality for building and analyzing graphs. The subject of research is a politician with a certain set of characteristics. In the paper an algorithm that enables to automate data collection on politicians was developed. One of the main methods of data collecting on the Internet is web scraping. Web scraping software may access the World Wide Web directly using the HTTP, or through a web browser. While web scraping can be done manually by a software user, the term typically refers to automated processes implemented using a software agent. The data was necessary for constructing graphs and their analysis. The use of graphs enables to see various types of relationships, including mediate. This methodology enables to change the attitude towards the analysis of multidi-mensional objects.
