Only able to scrape 3 posts

The scraper is able to scrape only 3 posts from a public page. Upon inspection, I noticed that a login pop-up window appears when you scroll down. The scraped needs to be modified to deal with this, or if there is an option where a user can input their login id and password, that would solve the issue as well

Hello, thank you for your feedback. Any information that is behind a login is not accessible by this Actor. There is no option to input login and password, as we it is a legal issue for us. We will look into the specific run you had, and if there is any way to extract more than 3 posts without login. We will keep you updated with any progress :)

Hi Jacub

Thank you for your reply. I have been facing this issue for all the public facebook pages. Can you please look through this as well if this is an issue with the actor because of some facebook update?

Hi, I completely missed there was resultsLimit missing in your input, which results in only initial page results being scraped. If you want more results than the initial few, you have to include it in your output, so for example "resultsLimit": 100 would increase the potential maximum of posts to 100 per URL. Hope this helps :)
