getting names
is there a way to get out the names mentioned in a post as a seperate json object or column in the data?

Hi!
Unfortunately no way - without Facebook login mentions always displayed and parsed internally as plain text, you can check it in incognito browser for any public posts. As logged Facebook user you will always see mention as action link (clickable) but without login its always plain text.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Hi! I tried with the incognito browser mode and it looks like it is now possible to see mentions as action links.
If that is the case for you too, could this feature be implemented, storing mentions as a separate column in the data?

@marco.pernarella Please provide a direct URL, maybe there exceptional cases. As far as I tested at the time of writing limitation still applied: https://www.facebook.com/swiatgwiazdpl/posts/pfbid03418shNmcSJ5iiVYiZeMcPiPUBMth1kdLhkhL6eP43txTkoqCUCLBJUnL8MBCRwLol

Here's an example: https://www.facebook.com/100064454032086/posts/925594242932368
It looks like they are available when mentioned in the post, not in the comments

Thanks! Added to the latest build, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/iCIh735Xxf6uKxvPa
The array is named textReferences
and includes details about entities (peoples, pages) referenced in the text.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
