Scraper Fetches Pinned Posts Instead of Recent Posts in Chronological Order
The scraper is not fetching posts in chronological order but rather in the order they are displayed on the feed. This causes an issue when I set the scraper to retrieve only posts shared in the last two months. Instead of fetching recent posts, the scraper prioritizes pinned posts, which always appear at the top of the feed.
This becomes problematic when I limit the scraper to retrieve only three posts per profile, as a profile can have up to three pinned posts. As a result, the scraper often fetches only pinned posts, ignoring recent content that falls within the specified timeframe. Is there a way to directly ignore pinned posts?
Hi!
Please use JSON input option skipPinnedPosts: true
By default, pinned posts are scraped regardless of date to keep output the same as seen on Instagram
I will close the issue now, but if there is anything else we could help with, please let us know.

Thank you! I couldn't see that option in the UI configuration
This option is not in visual input form to prevent confusion - most users do not need it, so they should get posts as on Instagram.
