Hi. I am using the apify/facebook-groups-scraper actor. I have added a few links to the list of Facebook groups.

When I set the "Number of posts" to 200, does it mean that it will scrape 200 posts from each facebook group in the list of URLs I specified?

When I run the task, it returns only 38 results. Could you please explain?

Thanks 😊

Hi! You have two conditions in your input:

1{
2  "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-06-01",
3  "resultsLimit": 400
4}

so actor will stop scraping when any of this limits reached. In your cases 2024-06-11T01:15:31.510Z INFO Stopping extraction for group posts because max date was reached https://www.facebook.com/groups/388146178198995/

Just remove onlyPostsNewerThan value in case if you want get fixed amount of posts per group as specified by resultsLimit

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