timeSincePosted Variable Not Scraped Chronologically
Closed
Hello,
I'm facing an issue with the post scraping order on LinkedIn, specifically with the timeSincePosted variable. The posts are not scraped in chronological order, which makes it very challenging to get the most recent posts from a profile.
When I try to scrape LinkedIn profiles, I notice that even if there have been recent posts, the posts retrieved via the timeSincePosted variable are random and not necessarily the latest ones. This makes the scraping process quite unusable.
I have checked the settings of the Apify agent and could not find any option to configure this behavior. It would be much more straightforward if the posts on the first page were simply scraped chronologically.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Hi, Thanks for opening the issue and helping me to make this actor better.
I've made the change you requested and now it will scrape posts in chronological order by default when search url is not provided.
Tip: You can generate a posts search url on linkedin with filters according to your preferences and pass it along with the profile URLs directly to the the scraper input -- It will consider the filters in search url when scraping posts from given profile URLs.
