Problem on onlyPostsNewerThan
Closed
Hi there. Im running through API but "onlyPostsNewerThan" is not triggering ok. Please check it and confirm me if this is the parameter name or not. I've just run and returned 740 tasks when should only trigger from yesterday.
{ "data": { "id": "GsPPR0lYI5tIHXa0f", "actId": "shu8hvrXbJbY3Eb9W", "userId": "NNNNNNNNN", "actorTaskId": "h8Bh01IUfvjAL2anh", "onlyPostsNewerThan": "{{5.result}}", "finishedAt": null, "skipPinnedPosts": true, "status": "READY", "meta": { "origin": "API", "userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, como Gecko) Chrome/126.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" }, "stats": { "inputBodyLen": 2030, "rebootCount": 0, "restartCount": 0, "resurrectCount": 0, "computeUnits": 0 }, "options": { "build": "latest", "timeoutSecs": 604800, "memoryMbytes": 4096, "diskMbytes": 8192 }, "createdByOrganizationMemberUserId": "EL3pqsau7NibbydbD", "buildId": "detz7JNWe2S8Yfy3s", "defaultKeyValueStoreId": "gKigiFNVfVyNVhCB3", "defaultDatasetId": "0LxgO783MVBHtAbPQ", "defaultRequestQueueId": "tSOIGOVcKljFnsNzo", "buildNumber": "0.0.256", "containerUrl": "https://n9mfcl7lnrkr.runs.apify.net", "usage": { "ACTOR_COMPUTE_UNITS": 0, "DATASET_READS": 0, "DATASET_WRITES": 0, "KEY_VALUE_STORE_READS": 0, "KEY_VALUE_STORE_WRITES": 1, "REQUEST_QUEUE_READS": 0, ...

Any feedback?
Hello, it seems like the issue is in the "location" of your onlyPostsNewerThan. In the input you provided, it is inside a data object.
When you put it outside of it (so top level of the input), and edit it so instead of { "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-08-12T00:00:00Z" }, it would become { "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-08-12" } (because the actor now supports date strings in this format), it works as expected.
It that a viable solution for you? :)

I just tested it with an Instagram page where I pinned 3 items at the top. It returned data from the last day, including the pinned items (which were a year old). So, it works fine for today's content but doesn't work well when pinned items are at the top.
here s my input:
{ "addParentData": false, "directUrls": [ "https://www.instagram.com/eukbc" ], "enhanceUserSearchWithFacebookPage": false, "isUserReelFeedURL": false, "isUserTaggedFeedURL": false, "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-09-23" }
Note: JFI I am using instagram scrapper.
Hello, the actor always adds the pinned items by default, no matter the "onlyPostsNewerThan" value. We are discussing if this is something we want to change or keep as is.
Follow up:
Please use josn input value skipPinnedPosts: true as in sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/gKpji0rxGUixt7u3c
Manual checkup: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/dH8ZyB9mXsWmQ7CL9/items?clean=true&fields=url,timestamp&format=json - 2 posts by date as expected (with pinned posts skipped)
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

hello, I want to ask if there is a possibility to filter results also by hour:minute:secons at onlyPostsNewerThan value? for example: "onlyPostsNewerThan": "2024-10-10 14:32:07"
my goal is to get only totally fresh posts, after providen hour, I want to avoid returning the same posts posted earlier in the day
I was trying this approach: https://console.apify.com/actors/shu8hvrXbJbY3Eb9W/issues/vnnjQeZ7gOedWgOsZ there is my run: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/kqgnfCIatdOMAp3R8
but it still returns older posts
@user-KrfPkkzfBduqFmnJT full ISO datetime value supported in the latest build, please give it a try (value must be provided by ison input)
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.
