Get a demoNot fetching mentions correctly
Closed
It is not able to fetch mentions in the posts correctly. I tried for this brand handle: https://www.instagram.com/mynykaa/, fetching past 10 posts.
This particular post was returned in the JSON: https://www.instagram.com/p/C_aU6TsNKG8/. However the mentions field was empty even though there are mentions in the Instagram post.
Hi!
It's just different logic - from very first version this actor mapped mentions array from @username fragments in post text. So this rule still followed to not disrupt current users by different format.
For your referenced post https://console.apify.com/view/runs/OBzxCC9w1K0kUi3wA user(s) tagged in photo mapped as taggedUsers - see https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/egUFKMzUArZjpOcLG/items?clean=true&format=json
Just do mind differences between mentions and taggedUsers
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Hi Alexey
Thank you for your prompt reply. I understand what you explained above- difference in "taggedUsers" and "mentions". However the JSON I recieved from this actor after running the query on the Instagram handle "mynykaa" still does not have the detail in either the "taggedUsers" sections or the "mentions" section. Here is the link to the run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/vxM1LvgoOrvefR5k2
You will see for that particular shortcode (C_aU6TsNKG8), there is no taggedUsers field. And the mentions part is empty. I have attached the screenshot below. If my understanding is correct- the actor is able to fetch the taggedUsers when the URL of the post is given (in your run above). However when I am giving the brand handle, it is not working correctly.
Looking forward to your reply
Weird, direct URL works fine: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/PZIxKONsQnyJ28voJ
Should be the same since full post details scraped in the same way. Bug confirmed, will keep you informed about fixes

Hi Alexey - is there any update on this ?
Hello, thank you for following up. We have other more urgent priorities at the moment, so it might take a couple of sprints to fix this, but we'll inform you as soon as we have this production. Thank you for your patience!
Hi!
Fixed in latest build, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Wvl5tLWxd1pz0Su7A and C_aU6TsNKG8 in

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