facebook comments scrape returning half of comments
Closed
Hi there,
I have been using the Facebook comments scrape to get comments on certain posts. The comment scraper only returns significantly fewer comments than the post has and than I specifically in the settings.
for example: https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/pfbid0PewuZ1SAhtiAYhb9mF3aSA58WzaacRLiGrJ6E8jPgnusEEKGCWAoFKvSSaeBbE3rl has 103 comments, if I scrape with setting max 50 comments I get back 19 comments. https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/pfbid032jBgzanqd3GTT7QPSKAgpXojihCREhEM9LfSyxoxjreWaQh8egV57bDAhN5kuLGil has 132 comments, if I scrape with setting max 100 comments I get back 49 comments.
Is there a reason why it is not all the comments? Is there a way to get back more comments?
Thank you
Hi! Facebook comments counter as you see in post page is grand total of all the comments with all the replies, so to get all you need to check input option "Include nested comments": https://console.apify.com/view/runs/sHYfXxTKaA2CGnYyj 372 comments by counter at the time of writing and actor getting 351 comment available without login.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
