Strict Searching
Closed
Is it possible to enable a strict search, i.e. if I want to search for "Peanut Butter", the posts returned should always have "Peanut Butter" or "peanut butter" (ignore case sensitivity), instead of posts that might mention "Peanuts" and "Butter" in the text separately.
Hi, Such solution could be applied, however it would put the actor in risk of having zero output with negative profit (as it charges for the actor’s resources), The scraper should return the results from Facebook search results, but if I apply filters after the scraped posts. It could lead to zero output as it might not find the exact keyword
However I can apply such solution for these actors: Facebook Scraper Pro (Rental): https://console.apify.com/actors/bVecmB17ResAf3Rfn/source
Facebook Search Scraper: https://console.apify.com/actors/blf62maenLRO8Rsfv/source
As they use monthly subscription package and do not rely on number of results that should be fetched.
Let me know if such approach is suitable for you and I will apply the necessary changes for the chosen actor

Okay this sounds promising. Just curious what the usage costs look like for Facebook Scraper Pro (Rental)?
Sure! I have tested the actor with your keyword "peanut butter". considering this run -> Test Run The usage cost was $0.014 for 100 results. After applying filtering with a strict search, I got 95 results, as it's a realistic search keyword. Meaning that the cost could be slightly higher than $0.014 for 100 results while enabling strict search

This is fantastic! Appreciate your work. While I got you as well, how difficult is it to improve the profiles scraper to get more data about the individual/group/page?
Thanks for your feedback, could you give me more details about your issue so that I can have a clearer vision and be able to assist you with profiles scraper?

If you have a look at this (Test Run)[https://console.apify.com/view/runs/6PjfHveWQWsdWzLz3], you can see that your scraper successfully pulls posts from the user which is great! Is it possible however to fetch more details specific to the user, including what's found in their about pages, as well as the Intro on their homepage. The user created date would be fantastic! Our goal is to gather enough data to determine if an account is fake or not based on this information.
I got you, I will look into it and let you know with the updates

Perfect! When will the new build go live for the rental actor for strict searching?
The new feature will be added in less than a day, I will update you as soon as it’s done
Hello,
I have enabled strict_search feature for Facebook Scraper Pro Rental
Feel free to try it and give your feedback.
📘 Facebook Profile Improvements
-
I've updated the
authormodel used in thefacebook_profiles_scraperfunction. The new attributes added are:introemailcategorycreated_at
-
Based on your goal of detecting fake accounts, you can now incorporate these new attributes into your criteria for identifying suspicious profiles.
-
I've also created new builds reflecting these changes for both this actor and the other one we discussed.
I’ll go ahead and close this issue. If you have any further questions or related concerns, feel free to reach out or open a new issue anytime.
Thanks!
