Results incomplete

Actually, I just double checked my setting: I set to scrap posts newer than 2021. But none of the results (https://www.instagram.com/breizhcafe_fr/) go back to 2021. Could it be caused by the disruption of the usage limit I went through last time? Could it be the rescurrect did not finish all the tasks it meant to do?

Hi!

Scraping done without IG login, data availability is the same as seen under incognito browser, means there is always limit for posts amount over time. Skipping from given date not supported by Instagram in any case. So max results is what you get from moment of run till internal hard data limit. If years 2022-2021 not reached for given profile there is no way around to get more.

Sorry if readme was not clear enough in this regards.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Hi Alexey,

I rerun the results for the link https://www.instagram.com/breizhcafe_fr/ and I was able to retreive results back to 2022. See here: https://console.apify.com/actors/nH2AHrwxeTRJoN5hX/runs/6jZoptwrhJKchkS1N#output

It seems that the two runs gave different results and I worried this run (the one I am raising the issue) had issues that led to incomplete results. I think it could be driven by the bug I occured last time when the actor was running but not retrieving results for hours. So I believe there might a glitch on the scraper.

I won't be able to use this results due to the incompleteness, so I would like to request a rerun of this task which can give me complete results.

Thanks for looking into this issue. I am glad that the test run was able to give me complete results because I am relying on this scraper for a few more cities' work.

Hi!

Can you please share input from run mentioned in previous issue? https://console.apify.com/actors/shu8hvrXbJbY3Eb9W/issues/r5J96aeBYAz4m5YQe - run already deleted from Apify cloud so I need exact copy of input in order to re-run and compare with https://console.apify.com/view/runs/6jZoptwrhJKchkS1N

Thanks for your feedback and patience!

Never mind, found it, re-running https://console.apify.com/view/runs/3Phxn1KdxeGO34Znk will keep you informed about the progress

Thank you!

Hi!

Follow up: previous run failed because of platform outage (just bad coincidence, first such outage in 6 months and it ruined the run) so I initiated another run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/WoorViUeAG4fEQAg4

For your original run I just didn't realize that IG pagination tokens expire in a day or so (as all other IG dynamic data) and resurrect was technically correct but naturally unable to continue with pagination.

Please confirm re-run data accuracy.

Thanks for your feedback and patience!

Hi Alexey,

Thank you! I can see the new run already had at least doubled the size of scraped results. I will dig deeper and check if the data is complete tomorrow (Friday) for my needs.

Thank you very much!
