Actor doesn't scrape all available data

Closed

When I run the actor it doesn't retrieve posts older than 2023-07-12 08:33:37, except for a single entry on 2018-12-19 19:01:25. When scrolling the group manually, I can see that more data are available. Can you help me scrape those as well? Looking at the exported data, it does contain a handful of entries between the 2018 and 2013, but by no means all.
I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Hi! Actor not expected to get all posts, to check posts manually i.e. from https://www.facebook.com/groups/1144667592644025 you can scroll in incognito browser and eventually scrolling will be blocked with "Please log in to see this page." dialog (see screen attached). Post reached in incognito browser from 12 of January and actor actually getting more in your run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/SXyS6n2WdZg3whyVu

You might see more posts as logged Facebook user but actor can not access the same data source. Current limit considered normal and it might vary from group to group.

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