Date filter is being ignored
Closed
Hi there,
The date filter doesn't appear to be doing anything and the actor is producing results from 2020 when the filter is set as follows:
"oldestPostDate": "2023-11-13"
Maybe we're setting this wrong? Or misunderstanding the input fields? If we'd like to fetch videos posted over the last X days for a set of accounts what would be the correct way to go about it?

To clarify, I've tested with the scrapeLastNDays parameter (example run: bevBzOdnmvux65ANL) and it still pulls data outside the range.

Hi,
Thanks for the report. It seems that the filter doesn't filter youtube shorts. We'll fix it soon. If you don't care about shorts, you can disable scraping them by setting maxResultsShorts to 0.

Thanks for the confirmation, we'll disable them until we hear back but we do need that data too. In the first run mentioned however there's some non-shorts videos that have been outputted that are outside the date parameter
Thanks for specifying that, we'll look into it a bit further!

Hi,
the actor should now apply date filters to shorts and streams. Streams (Live videos) are probably the non-shorts videos that are outside of the date parameter in your run's output. Let me know if there are still some issues with date filtering.
