Testing out this scraper on a public page (https://www.facebook.com/officialbenshapiro). It seems like when someone embeds a link, it does not return the link in the dataset (ideally it would get the link, title, description, etc.). Is there a way to get these? Thanks!
Hi!
Thanks for pointing out, can you provide direct post URL without embedded link?
Is it the case you talking about? https://www.facebook.com/officialbenshapiro/posts/pfbid02vD2WL4NdF8S9XtkqkGL6PFDp96BCfV7JLtbEwjCJ4Fe1TjWUPXS4LJ7qsz5GT5Pjl
Sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/LbzRbwkAP6dJ2U262
Dataset https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/bO1CaBSZKcwPf2ry4/items?clean=true&format=json but there is "link": "https://www.dailywire.com/news/jeremys-razors-is-now-on-amazon-prime?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=benshapiro" as expected
Actor not getting title and description for link "preview" since separate http request required to do it and, if implemented, will slow down a lot overall progress and increase usage (cost).
Is it worth for you to spend more per run with the option to get title and description per "link" when link is website?

Sorry, missed all these. For some reason I initially didn't see the link in the json. I would love it if there was an option to get title and description as well! Maybe not something that's always done though.
Hi!
Found a way to get this details from internal cache, so just added new values to the latest release, no extra resources consumed to get them: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/iiq21192z0qwmhccY
