The actor just shuts down. Before it could scrape the top 10 comments. So I tried to run post with only 1-10 comments. But no output.
Also: I can suddenly scroll on comments in incognito mode. I can see all comments here in incognito mode: https://www.facebook.com/780090080820568/posts/801984745297768
Hello, could you please link the run where you werent able to scrape any comments?
Thank you for the information about scrolling, we will see if that can help our scraper :)

Hi!
In your run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/tN7ZbhwN9MjjoFouV you provided big batch of URLs from file named "less_than_15_comments.txt"
So as first step actor getting all the URLs to validate public access and when post is not available error dataset item saved in format
1{ 2 "url": "https://www.facebook.com/894375652689091/posts/921543269972329", 3 "error": "not_available", 4 "errorDescription": "This content isn't available because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted." 5}
As far as I tested all URLs which failed with error really not available when opened in incognito browser (access must be checked without Facebook login). Actual comments will be scraped when 9.000 initial URLs fully processed. Tested single posts https://www.facebook.com/747039650800537/posts/825976249573543 and it works fine, sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/IzWo8lQ9taCjFU73m
Please resurrect your run or make smaller runs for smaller lists of URLs. Also please make sure to use latest build.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Okay.
When I run just this URL:
https://www.facebook.com/780090080820568/posts/801984745297768
ID: 8qZDJRTJ9CvyyoVZ7
Also outputs 0 results because of "2024-10-28T20:16:07.351Z WARN No public data available without Facebook login or access rights"
But I can see ALL 57 comments in the incognito browser.
Hi!
Thanks a lot for reporting this case - in old version there was no proper support for posts like https://www.facebook.com/780090080820568/posts/801984745297768 when two sorting options available instead of three (Most relevant - Oldest VS Most relevant - Newest - All). Before such cases returned empty results, now picked up automatically.
