Hi!

Was unable to find special whatsapp link to test. Just regular details which admin expected to fill in, actor already getting details available without Facebook login. Please provide example of page(s) with whatsapp link to evaluate.

Hi!

"Websites and Social media links" is free form section filled in by page admin, so solved by getting all URLs from section as websites array, see sample run https://console.apify.com/view/runs/wTTaOniVduy9P9FRI

Other value in dataset "alternativeSocialMedia": "jbalvin" displayed in page details as "WhatsApp" on Facebook but can not be identified as such in internal data, means actor unable to get more details than that. Also WhatsApp supposed to be unique number, not a user name (since user name can be changed), so might be just a glitch in Facebook UI.

To summarize - all public "Websites and Social media links" scraped from the page now, please run again.

I´m going to close the issue now, but if there would be anything else we could help with, please let us know.
