Crawling fails to extract posts for a public group
Closed
I try to extract like 50-100 posts for a public group, the actor either gets 12 posts only or gets 0 posts and fails. I have tried it several times the maximum it got was 12 posts.
Hi! Thanks a lot for letting us know. For regular groups works fine, i.e. https://console.apify.com/view/runs/rRC4oKRrVMQNdXzpM But for your https://www.facebook.com/groups/110558315642785/ blocking in permanent after some initial results https://console.apify.com/view/runs/zaBoidoF8a3VeBGyR or even from the start
Do you have any other examples of such groups? From single case hard to find difference.

sparkling_nickel your target group https://www.facebook.com/groups/lucebookclub is Private so no public posts available and therefore results are zero.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Is there any actor could scrape Private group with login function?
