Hi, I have seen that in the "time frame" the "older than" option to search for publications in a certain date range has disappeared. Would it be possible to have them again? Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your question. This option was intentionally removed. The problem is that the scraper needs to always start scrolling from "today" so if you put an old date as the latest date, it will be stuck scrolling through posts it has to throw away. That is a terrible user experience.

For now, you can still use the option in the JSON input format like this: "fromDate": "2022-01-01". Otherwise, the solution is to simply filter the posts on your end after downloading.

Hello! the fromDate parameter has not been working for me. I have already scraped full pages, and only want to update the scrape for the most recent month. I have also tested this in the console using the 'TimeFrame' dropdown and still receive output from long before the entered date. Is there a way to do this effectively? Thanks!

Hello,

The Newer than in the timeframe works. See for example here - https://console.apify.com/view/runs/pAfR58jp6dwr8lAlz

Do you have example run where it doesn't?
