Is there a way to control what reels will be scraped? I want to scrape more reels from the same profile but avoid scraping what I collected from previous runs.
I got a reply from Alexey (https://apify.com/alexey) to use "newer than" and get new posts by schedule. Can they explain more about this, with an example? Is there API documentation for the input parameters for running a job on this actor?
Hi, thanks for reaching out, we're looking for a best way to answer this, will let you know!
Hi! Actor upgraded to accept relative time, at the moment only as json input, i.e.
1{ 2 "onlyPostsForLastTimeUnit": "day", 3 "onlyPostsForLastValue": 1, 4 "resultsLimit": 60, 5 "username": [ 6 "https://www.instagram.com/potus" 7 ] 8}
Sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/z6p5YsmrS4ieg0w8Z and checked output manually with https://www.instagram.com/potus/reels/ - works correct, two reels in 1 last day, both scraped
Please add schedule with relative time in josn input as described in manual: https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules#setting-up-a-new-schedule
Please give it a try and let us know if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks for your patience
Hi again, I hope my colleague's solution worked for you, if you'd have any additional point or questions, please, let us know. I'm going to close the issue for now.
