I'm trying to launch an api upload of a profile of several days, for example from day 2024-04-10 to 2024-04-17. What happens is that I still get back the posts from day 17, but not the days backwards. Or for example if I put from day 2024-04-10 to 2024-04-14, it still returns only one post, when the profile has many of those days. The input I'm putting in is: { "fromDate": "2024-04-10", "untilDate": "2024-04-14", "username": [ "zarahome" ] }
Hi! Date range for mentions not expected to work, because mentions not ordered by date, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/cHlZnJ8dmTJ3dHZZ8 - aborted since current dataset is clear enough to illustrate the issue https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/VV6oncDHVt5HVKQu9/items?clean=true&fields=shortCode,timestamp&format=json dates mixed, so even "untilDate" is not recommended to use, its allowed in json input because internally dates range was implemented for other type of data In other words due limitations of UI date is allowed in main actor https://apify.com/apify/instagram-scraper but not expected to be used with mentions You can see it directly in IG: https://www.instagram.com/zarahome/tagged/ At the moment of writing https://www.instagram.com/p/C5z428oBXKR/ and https://www.instagram.com/p/C5z4CiEBN_B/ at the top posted 1 day ago, when scrolled down you can see bunch of results posted few hours ago In second row https://www.instagram.com/p/C5XoVkhhbzy/ and https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Xn4ZxBbCC/ from 5 of April etc
I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
