FB Event scraper not pulling address/location info

Closed

Doing a trial, but the address info for virtually all events scraped does not have address info. Is this a limitation on the free trial or a bug?

Hi!

In your run https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/yPBHl4NBxsj9xxlBO/items?clean=true&format=json location property scraped as expected: getting name, id, coordinates etc. Current version of actor will not return any more location details regardless of subscription.

Sample from dataset:

1"location": {
2    "url": null,
3    "id": "10161165141631698",
4    "name": "501 E Larkspur St, Victoria, TX 77904-2396, United States",
5    "contextualName": null,
6    "placeType": "TEXT",
7    "latitude": 28.87442,
8    "longitude": -96.98895,
9    "countryCode": "US",
10    "streetAddress": null,
11    "city": null
12  }

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

ok, I think the issue is you are pulling location name, but not location address so it is very hit or miss whether the full address info is there or not. As you can see from looking at my results, approximately half dont have the address info. for example on this event https://www.facebook.com/events/1040231290381381/ you are pulling the location name, Milan Dragway, but not the address info which is the line below, Milan Dragway, 10860 Plank Rd, Milan, MI 48160, United States.

If you ever update to grab the correct address info from Facebook please let me know and I will reconsider, but as it is now there is no value to me in the scraped info. .

Hi

Would it be possible to get a reset on my trial? I am interested in using this, but would like to check the address thing before I sign up.
