I tried twice to get comments scraped from a news Facebook page in which the post has 263 comments on Facebook but both times, the scrapper produced no results claiming that "there is no data in the dataset". Am I doing it wrong?

I am trying to access comments from posts dating back to 2018. I see that the scraper works on posts from this year. Does this mean the tool does not work with old posts, even though those posts and comments are still available on Facebook? It keeps saying that I either deleted the data or that there is no data in the dataset. Or could it be that I am trying to access comments from posts published by (public) news site pages?

Hi!
You need to provide direct Facebook post URLs, not sharer URL like in your runs without results: you used URL https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.news24.com%2FSouthAfrica%2FNews%2Fscreening-of-inxeba-the-wound-suspended-due-to-protests-20180202&h=AT2j5mJTsHRLPvjUjF_rwxSyTdf5K08-KoddkJ6C5TiybP0JDLDj2e16PFlr8LJOVpr-hGj9WiieQTUQ4e_H3QNPpycXI0Y9FEg3Uyz_D8RjS2x-4PGxA-RddfRz2wm2xoeB&s=1
- actor can not resolve it as valid Facebook post URL and therefore return no results.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
