I want to obtain the posts of the recent two days, there should be dozens of them, but only 8 are returned. Please help to take a look at what the reason is, thanks

@studious_honeylocust Thank you for the reply; May I ask if you know which actor can collect Facebook posts more accurately and comprehensively?

Hi! Thanks a lot for feedback! I re-run https://www.facebook.com/GUfoods with input copy https://console.apify.com/view/runs/P7ZkgCBlSFrwYK0r7 and check manually https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/yQxYr1gCS5zR5RzC4/items?clean=true&fields=time,text,topLevelUrl&format=json with page in incognito browser. Posts scraped 1-1, so for this case actor works as expected (do mind that checkup must be done in incognito browser without Facebook login)

For https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalTVNetwork issue confirmed but not pinned down: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/7XiOBI8QckI83yVQP At the moment of writing initial posts till https://www.facebook.com/100044504436603/posts/1074961673997304 "#Panda fanatics in #SouthKorea" are accurate, then visible output from page differ from scraped posts: next post in browser "U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen" while next scraped post https://www.facebook.com/100044504436603/posts/1074709310689207 "Chinese President #XiJinping" and mismatches continued

Another run with proxy country set in json input revealed that https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalTVNetwork show different set of posts per country (I testing manually from TH IP): https://console.apify.com/view/runs/ekbdO5sGa8L0XMUbe is almost accurate, still some posts missed like between "Worrying combination of #Sahara" and "Why would you offer the ‘gift’ of 20,000 elephants?" in dataset https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/9yarAuYmIXWcJe12v/items?clean=true&fields=time,text,topLevelUrl&format=json there is "View over Israel-Gaza border as seen from Israel" on page

Hi! Please try again, posts are the same now regardless of proxy IP, you can verify accuracy from incognito browser.

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