DB

`"includeNestedComments": true` doesn't respect `"resultsLimit"`

When running the actor with "includeNestedComments": true, the response gives more than resultsLimit * len(startUrls). With "includeNestedComments": false then resultsLimits is properly respected.

Expected behaviour:

  • setting resultsLimits gives back max that value times the number of post URLs regardless of other input param values.

Hello,

We apologize for the delay in responding. Currently, the limit for nested comments is applied per thread. This means if the maximum results are set to 5, we scrape 5 root comments and 5 replies per comment. This setup has been working well for our users. Unless we receive more feedback suggesting a change, we will continue with this approach.

Thank you for your understanding.
