Crawling on a specific time range

Closed

amit_lavi_99 opened this issue

Is it possible to crawl over a specified time range? Because my cron job crashed and I have to crawl to fetch information at specified hours that the job was down. For example on 12.08.24 between 3-8 PM. I didn't find a way to set it in the parameters, but I saw an option only to set how much time back I want and not a set time range. This is a critical matter for me and for the availability and hermeticity of my application.

Hello, you can use onlyPostsNewerThan and onlyPostsNewerThan fields in the input, which takes a date (for example in a string form) as a value. Hope this helps :)

You wrote the same field twice, maybe you meant onlyPostsOlderThan in the second occurrence?

You are totally right, I forgot to edit the second field. Yes, it's onlyPostsNewerThan and onlyPostsOlderThan :)

Thank you! Can u give me an example of dates input. In instance, how to input the date 14.8.24?

{ "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-8-14" } Should work :)

Yes, with this formatting it should consider time too.

{ "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-08-15T09:57:40.515Z" }
