Allow only scraping posts created after a certain date

My use case involves regularly (preferably daily) scraping new posts from a profile. It's a waste of time and resources to always scrape the full profile. It would be very useful if I could give it a starting date as a parameter.

Hi! You can use https://apify.com/apify/instagram-scraper with "posts newer than" value in input form, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/f49Gq2ACnRSONJKGy

Or you can use this actor and add json input like onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-06-10" see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/mUvsEB6pWCIwMc2RJ

In both cases scraping stopped when limit by amount or limit by date is reached.

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

Skipping from certain date is not supported because there is no such option in Instagram itself.
