Facebook page posts checker api sometimes skips posts

Closed

Dear Apify!

We ran into some problems while using the Facebook page posts checker api.

We executed 2 consecutive runs for the same facebook page:

run 1 Id: VuWjBXu4VhdBpPeCm run 2 Id: od5GkE4ipc4M7cPvc

The only difference between the inputs of the two runs was that the time interval of the second run was one day longer. So the expected result was, that the second run should find more posts, since it covers a bigger time interval, and it completely covers the time interval of the first request.

Against our expectations, the first run gave us 16 posts, the second gave only 13. The posts numbered 11 to 15 from the first run were missing from the results of the second run.

The state of the second actor was "Succeeded - Actor finished successfully (exit code 0)", but in the actor logs we have found the followings:

WARN CheerioCrawler: Reclaiming failed request back to the list or queue. request timed out after 30 seconds. And a JS error: Error at Function.createFromInputFallback (/usr/src/app/node_modules/moment/moment.js:324:25)

Questions: 1, Can you confirm, that this is a bug, that the Facebook page posts checker api sometimes skips posts, and it will be fixed?

2, Looking at this case, since the state of the run is "succeeded", our only chance would be in production to automatically catch this error and rerun the request, if we would query and process the logs automatically after each run, looking for warn or error lines. Is it recommended for clients b... [trimmed]

Hey, we no longer support this Actor, although we know it still works well for some users. We have upgraded to new "Actor line", you can give a try to one of those, https://console.apify.com/store?search=face, for example the https://apify.com/apify/facebook-posts-scraper.
