I scraped with this the following URL's:

In total there a round about 400 comments but the "Facebook Comment Scraper" scrapt over 1500 Results (If I hadn't stopped it, there would have been a lot more.) When I analyze the data in Excel, I can see that there are a lot of duplicate comments. Also if I scrape just one URL I have the same problem.

Kind regards Pascal

Hello, thank you for your feedback. The way resultsLimit works is that it applies for each directUrl supplied, so in this case your resultsLimit was set to 1000, and the amount of URLs supplied was 3, which results in potential maximum of 3000 comments :)

You are right that there seems to be duplicates. We'll investigate this futher and get back to you :)

Hi!

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

Thank you guys for the quick reply. @Alexy: If I understand correctly, I can leave “Results amount” blank and use “Top Ranked” and get over 100 comments with sub-comments? This way I get the maximum possible comments. Is that correct?

Alexey Udovydchenko (alexey)

Hi!

That's correct, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/IpRvDA7Zmx4A6x9Ew

Nested replies in current version always scraped to maximum because total results already limited. In other words results amount only applied to root comments, you can get less than 10 if you want.
