Retrieving Group Title
Closed
I would like to retrieve the group name in the result, or use "pageFunction", where we send a function as a string (e.g., at the end of this description) to add the title or other items to the return value.
"pageFunction": "async function pageFunction(context) {\n const { request, log } = context;\n const $ = context.$;\n const title = $('title').text();\n log.info(`URL: ${request.url} TITLE: ${title}`);\n return {\n title,\n context\n };\n}",
Hi! Page function considered as obsolete for all the actors - confusing for many users and therefore not considered as good approach. To illustrate - your page function can not be applied because actor based on data from internal FB API and there is literally no page title tag available during scraping.
For right now please modify dataset by i.e. https://apify.com/lukaskrivka/dedup-datasets or some other actor integration.
As closest alternative do you think adding entire "root" object with group details to each post will work for you?
Hi!
Added group title as groupTitle output value, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/I9Gq9iYaWFiIVXhr3
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
