I am not able to get the proper data from the shared post in facebook group. Below is the url https://www.facebook.com/groups/1786641368492280/permalink/1787366145086469/

Hello, I tried running this URL as input, and it worked as expected. Can you link the run where the actor failed or behaved in an unexpected way? Thank you.

I am attaching the actor run details. Here you can check the actor input and other details.

This post is not captured: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1786641368492280/permalink/1787366145086469/

Additionally, here is another shared post in the group that is captured: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1786641368492280/permalink/1787977635025320/

It captured, but it does not contain the text and attachments that are present in the post.

You can find more details on the issue here: https://console.apify.com/organization/Zjf2abAaqfSnsRiGZ/actors/runs/EKo9y4gNo9VOEhyr8#output

Could you please help me resolve these issues?

When I ran the actor with the same input as you provided, I received 5 results. It seems the actor is producing inconsistent results. We will investigate this problem further and get back to you once we find a solution.

Hello, our apologies for the belated reply. We'll look into this during the upcoming sprint and let you know once we have any solid findings. We appreciate your patience.

Hello, after the latest release, I've tried running the actor with this input:

{ "resultsLimit": 200, "startUrls": [ { "url": "https://www.facebook.com/groups/1786641368492280" } ], "viewOption": "CHRONOLOGICAL" }

It consistently returns 14 results each time. Could you please try running it on your end to see if it meets your expectations?

Hi any update on the above issues

Hello, thank you for your patience. You are right, there seems to be a bug with the date filter. I already reported it to the team, and we will get back to you once we find a solution.

Hi!

Fixed in latest build, issue was caused by parsing shared post date instead of original post time.

See sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Rt43G4nHuq8vlJ40Y (I checked real group posts manually https://www.facebook.com/groups/1786641368492280?sorting_setting=CHRONOLOGICAL)

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