I’ve tried to setup a Facebook group scraper for a group I’m a member of, both using the ‘Facebook Page Posts’ prebuilt scraper and one I tried to make myself. It’s just retrieving the very first post on the page in both circumstances. I’m running this on a group arranged already in chronological sequence (?sorting_setting=CHRONOLOGICAL)
Not sure what I’m doing wrong! Any tips on how to get it retrieving more? Longer term, I’d like to run this daily automatically in the background and retrieve any new posts posted since the last time I ran the automation, if there’s a way of doing that?
Hi @author - Typically when your list scraper is only returning one result, it means we need to update the container selector on the list scraper template.
However, the only way I was able to return multiple results was actually running the automation with the “Scrape data on active tab” instead of “Scrape Data in the background” action. It is very odd.
I cannot understand what is happening here, am curious to find out myself.
Yes that works now - the active tab one, not the background action.
Out of interest, is there a way I can edit/see the logic of the scraper you made? I can’t figure out how to gain access to that (though have been able to use yours for my own automation)
Hi @author - unfortunately, at the moment Bardeen doesn’t allow shared custom scraper templates to be edited/viewed by anyone other than the creator. And if the creator delete the scraper template on their end, others will no longer be able to use it.
