Not getting in date sequence data
Closed
Hi Team,
I recently used the actor to scrape Instagram user posts. However, I noticed that the posts were returned in a random order, not sorted by timestamp. I was expecting the results to be in chronological order — specifically, the latest 25 posts based on their posting time.
Could you please explain the sequence in which the data is returned?
Thanks, Vivek Gupta
Hi!
The actor scraping posts with the concurrency from 10 to 50 (depending on RAM). As soon as each post is scraped, details are saved to the dataset. That's why the original chronological order is not precise. Posts are scraped in batches on each scroll. Inside the batch, ordering is randomized based on data response time for each post. However total amount of posts by date range or results limit should always be correct.
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
