Request: Adding a limit parameter for posts scraped per profile

Closed

imaginative_skull opened this issue

Currently, the actor only takes a list of usernames as input. When scraping a given profile, I cannot control the number of posts that I want to scrape per profile.

One option could be to have a timestamp filter (e.g., return posts between a given time range). Another option is potentially to define a number of posts that are returned in a certain chronological order.

A current hacky way to obtain this functionality is to scrape only one profile at a time and limit the number of billable results. However, this prevents you from scraping multiple accounts in one session and disperses your datasets.

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