Rate limit easily exceeded on requests, fails

Hello, Rate limits are easily exceeded when running these jobs, and I need quite a lot of posts to be scraped. How do I get around these limits? Is there a specific proxy to use?

Hi! In your run you using datacenter proxy and some excessive input (I guess from the really old version), indeed, just run with regular input, residential proxy will be used by default and allow to get all comments from your sample post: see re-run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/z6gpmvIcYjN2Ox0hC Input:

1{
2  "includeNestedComments": true,
3  "resultsLimit": 100,
4  "startUrls": [
5    {
6      "url": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/507543533260337/permalink/706055386742483/"
7    }
8  ],
9  "viewOption": "RANKED_UNFILTERED"
10}

Hi, I'm going to close the issue for now, but if the regular input didn't work, please, do let us know. Happy Scraping!
