Getting fewer comments on one or more links

Closed

we are getting very few comments in the scrapper. When we put one or more links, we don't even get 5% to total comments in links, and some times, less than that.

A few days ago, we dint have this problem.

How we can do to get all comments on post? we have to give othr input to api? Have you got any solution for this? how long would it take?

Hi!

Last week Facebook limited comments to initial page of results for web visitors (without Facebook login). You can clearly see it in incognito browser, i.e. https://www.facebook.com/61559420155571/posts/122141843120314005 and scrolling just not works

Currently the only way around is to re-scrape comments with different sorting options, so some new comments will be available from initial page and then get all the replies (for replies scrolling works as usual)
