Hi!

In your run onlyPostsNewerThan: "1 day" was scraped and for some profiles like https://www.instagram.com/monte_santana there are no recent posts newer than 1 day. For such cases error dataset item is saved in the format:

1{
2  "url": "https://www.instagram.com/graphql/query/?doc_id=7950326061742207&variables=%7B%22id%22%3A%222306844196%22%2C%22first%22%3A12%7D",
3  "requestErrorMessages": [],
4  "error": "no_items",
5  "errorDescription": "Empty or private data for provided input"
6}

So the dataset becomes mixed with errors and actual posts: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/1h9cXRwhSVwInOsHP/items?clean=true&format=json

Please filter out errors, meanwhile, we will try to improve error handling logic

I was confused by the information. Were you able to fix the errors in the case of the profile not having any posts? Or do you have any recommendations?

Hi!

Normal functionality restored and clearer error details added for the cases when the profile has not posted anything in a given date range.
