Found an issue when scraping. [Comment Count] #236

Closed fashan7 closed 3 years ago

fashan7 commented 3 years ago

When the post has more than 1000 (1k) comments, it returns the count of the comment to 0

{"comments":0, "shares":0 }

Don't know why shares count too got 0

posts = list(get_posts(
    "XeAgoraAguenta",
    page_limit=4,
    cookies="cookies.txt"
))
for post in posts:
    if post["comments"] > 1000:
        print(post["post_id"], post["time"], post["likes"], post["shares"], post["comments"])
