Hi any update on the above issue?
Hi!
No quick solution since Facebook adding limits to available data so when something no longer saved in dataset it means that actor no longer getting such details.
Will keep you informed about the progress.

Hi Alexey Udovydchenko We are getting images in the normal post but not in the poll post specifically

Any update on this

Any update ???
Hello, thank you for your patience. Since Facebook added said limits, we aren't getting images inside the polls. They are still available in normal posts, but poll posts don't give that data back at the current moment. We will investigate the issue further, if there are some other ways of getting it and changing the scraper, and we'll inform you if we find anything.

Do you have the list in which case we don't get the details like the above so it will be easy for us
Hi!
We do not have such list, since deeper data details forwarded "as is" by actor from internal Facebook API.
I do not have poll with image sample and hand, please try to scrape poll post with the image by https://apify.com/apify/facebook-posts-scraper - this exact actor capable to process direct post URLs and output is different from what other actors getting from posts feed.
Hi!
Comments migrated to new data source, full functionality restored with better details.
Sample run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/CyA4KFAs0jzdvwUUD

How can I select the actor build number while doing the scrapping can you give me the python snippet for that as from UI i am not able to select it
Hi!
Easiest way to not specify any build, in this case "latest" version will be selected by default. If you absolutely want to use build then add parameter to API call https://docs.apify.com/api/v2#tag/ActorsRun-actor-synchronously/operation/act_runSync_post or https://docs.apify.com/sdk/python/docs/concepts/interacting-with-other-actors#actorcall
Follow up:
Facebook killed scrolling for root comments over this weekend. Scrolling for replies still works at least partially, up to 100 replies per comment confirmed.
So currently getting max comments per single run is to use "Most relevant" sorting which will bring root comments as top results and then get all nested comments as well, sample: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/3c7zPRoPlsE2aqPys
