Only scrape items published in the last 24 hours

I'm looking for the most efficient way to scrape all posts made in the last 24 hrs daily. I've found a recently closed issue that recommended adding the input as so:
{ "resultsLimit": 1, "username": [ "user", "names", "to", "scrape" ], "onlyPostsForLastValue": "1", "onlyPostsForLastTimeUnit": "days" }
However it still pulls in posts older than 24 hours ago. Any recommendations?

I'm facing the same issue. Our use case requires us to scrape data < 24h old
Hi! Sorry for confusion, from your run all posts for older dates are "pinned" https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/mWqBOT1dt7CoRNnfj/items?clean=true&fields=shortCode,timestamp,isPinned&format=json so please increase amount of results in order to get new posts. We can not really change logic for pinned posts because most of users expecting output as its displayed in browser, so pinned posts are topmost and actor just following Instagram logic.
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
