Hi!

Its correct, referenced posts are shared posts without custom text added to it, so https://www.facebook.com/ChinaGlobalTVNetwork/posts/pfbid02aqvNswJyiogt4WMCoucUDHCVxTEcUcDpFLBVqyJ16AryDx7g7RPKfAKdeRJvAt4jl do not have its "own" text, content is in "sharedPost.text": "Are you worried about the world’s population shrinking..."

Please make sure that you checked full dataset https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/cIWq4CSFEFtctMlEt/items?clean=true&format=json

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

thanks for you reply. I noticed some results have 'sharePost' in json, but the two records above only have 'url' 'text' 'likes' 'comments' 'shares' in json data. I can't get the sharePost value and the date information is still missing.

Hi!

Sounds like you do not export json properly or do not view full dataset.

Here direct example of the first post you referenced: https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/cIWq4CSFEFtctMlEt/items?clean=true&format=json&offset=3&limit=1

Shared post and all the details are there. To prevent misunderstanding dataset reduced to single exact post (offset 3, limit 1). For all the posts with details please use full dataset by direct URL https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/cIWq4CSFEFtctMlEt/items?clean=true&format=json or by Export dialog in console.

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