Undefined results
Open
This is most likely user error, but I tried this actor for the first time and gave it a list of about 150 Instagram usernames. I noticed that all of the results were just staying undefined? Is there a setting to change?
Also, would love to know if there's a way to limit the data being scraped to just the text of each post? That's really all I need. Thanks!

Hi 😊
The default view after a run only shows a pre-selected amount of fields - if you want to see others, you can choose "All fields" rather than "Overview" in the output view. With that said it seems like there is an issue with our scraper with this run, I'll look into that 😅.
I'm afraid there is no way to only make the scraper scrape text, but you can filter out other information by using the "Export" functionality - fill out the fields you want, and it will create an url for you which only includes that data.

Hi again 😊
After looking at it a bit more, I can see some of the profiles where we don't scrape any posts is because they are filtered out by the onlyPostsNewerThan parameter - if you remove that you'll get way more actual results 😌
Be aware that some of the profiles are restricted - we'll still scrape their metadata, and give the restriction reason we get from Instagram, that is not part of the "Overview" though
Finally the explore page will have very different output than "normal" profile pages. What did you expect would happen when giving it as an input?
