Filter by date doesn't seem to be working for me #2246
Comments
So you want to scrape the data before datetime(2018, 5, 31), yeah? |
After. Wouldn't |
I did date filtering like this:
I haven't tested it right now, but a few weeks ago it worked, let me know if this helped! |
Thank you -- I am trying to do this via the command line option, though...but maybe that won't work. |
Update: I am finding that So: |
@bialyrycerz OK I was having the same issue and I got it working. On your args files, you need to remove the quotes from the conditional expression, such as: --filename-pattern={date_utc:%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S}{mediaid}{owner_id} Now my only question is, if the posts are "skipped", does this count against our rate limit? |
I am using the construct
instaloader --post-filter="date_utc <= datetime(2018, 5, 31)" target
from the documentation, but instaloader seems to be ignoring that and downloading all posts anyway.Using the command line:
instaloader +/Users/user/Documents/iloader.txt
iloader.txt contains:
Based on the documentation, I would've expected this to download posts after 1/1/2024, but it's downloading everything.
It is the first time downloading this user; does that supersede any filter commands?
Or, is there something incorrect I'm doing here?
Thanks
