Region-locked content not available
Closed
I'm trying to scrape the following Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/GettysburgPD/ This is the response I receive from the scraper: { 'posts': [ { 'url': 'https://www.facebook.com/GettysburgPD/', 'error': 'not_available', 'errorDescription': "This content isn't available because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted." } ], 'actor_type': 'page' }
I know that the content is not available in Europe (at least in Spain) and it's for sure available in the United States, because I tried to access it with VPN and it worked. How can I scrape the page?

Also, the run itself has the status "succeeded" for some reason
Hi!
Re-run with residential US proxy still unable to access the page: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/ltaXY7gMMHitVwHon Re-run with single post from page indexed by Google not getting content as well: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/LqAu1KPJeCZCU6Zx6
So page is not available for IPs in apify proxy pool, best guess page access limited by province or city (not just by country), that's why it works under your VPN. At actor level nothing can be done at the moment, because there is no deeper support for apify IPs - the only choice is to limit country, but province and-or city still random.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
p.s. when page access is restricted actor saving error to dataset in order to explain the situation.
