[BUG] Delayed fetch of app-review data #182

Open TaslimOseni opened 1 year ago

TaslimOseni commented 1 year ago

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a designed behavior, but reviews take exactly 24 hours before they show up in the reviews/review_all function. I have tested and confirmed this behavior several times.

Here are more details:

I'd appreciate some clarification as well as suggestions on how I can work around this.

@JoMingyu, can you kindly clarify please?

JoMingyu commented 1 year ago

I hadn't thought of that. I'll give it some time to debug.

TaslimOseni commented 1 year ago

Any update on this, @JoMingyu? I just want to confirm if that's the case or if I'm doing something wrong.

Here's an illustration of the problem: If I post a review on the playstore page of my app, it would take up to 24 hours before the reviews / review-all function starts returning it.

I just want to confirm if that's the default behaviour.

Since this library is basically pulling data from the Google Play webpage, and there's no date-based filtering or caching, it's hard to know where is problem.

It's also hard to reproduce your issue, which is part of what makes debugging difficult.

I'm sorry, but it would be nice if you could be more specific about when a review is written, visible on Google Play, and not visible in the library results.
