Get a demoI ran a crawl for facebook comments with the toggle to include comment_replies set to on. When showing the preview of the dataset, and when exporting the dataset as a csv, I see the columns related to comment_replies (such as replyToCommentId) However, when I export using JSON, it does not have the replyToCommentId key in the json document. I'd like to get the full document as we primarily integrate using json, and not csv
Hi!
I manually checked your dataset, please note that replyToCommentId
value presented only for replies and missing for top-level comments, see part of dataset from your run: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/D4wb9wcSZz7fikfoa/items?clean=true&fields=commentUrl,replyToCommentId,id,text&format=json&limit=200&offset=100000
Another thing - please do mind that reply or parent comment might be removed either by post author or related profile might be blocked. In particular https://www.facebook.com/100063983201742/posts/837161181759981?comment_id=415111484575693 from your dataset no longer exists
Sample re-run only for post above: https://console.apify.com/view/runs/Z3DQFeuxNwP37SCcd Opening https://www.facebook.com/100063983201742/posts/837161181759981?comment_id=415111484575693 in incognito browser will not scroll to reply because its removed (I recheck entire thread in browser manually). Comments which still exists at time of scraping scrolled into view as follows: https://www.facebook.com/100063983201742/posts/837161181759981?comment_id=403491015770613 - its reply to top level comment and scrolled as expected https://www.facebook.com/100063983201742/posts/837161181759981?comment_id=1171891484171223 is reply to reply however nested view only displayed for logged Facebook user, in incognito browser it looks like reply to top level comment (screens attached)
So actor works as expected. Comment-reply relation is correct, just a bit tricky to re-check in browser.
Please let me know if issue clarified in enough details or you have other questions.
