Is the limit of 5000 items crawled due to restricted access of a free trial account? Is it possible to crawl ALL (like more than 20000 comments per post) after a subscription?

Hi! Current limit applied because we not expecting to be able to scroll deeper: actor not using login, so scraping is equal to opening post URL in incognito browser and scroll to display more data, eventually scrolling will be blocked since its suspicious activity from Facebook point of view when web visitor without login doing a lot of scrolling (in human terms, who will be able to read more than 5.000 comments?). You can try to get current maximum for your sample post, or please provide exact post URL for evaluation.

Thank you for your reply. The Facebook video URL is as follows: https://www.facebook.com/100044573580122/videos/1280210439323332 (there are about 15000 comments). Just want to know if it is possible to get more than 5,000.
