weird get_posts() behavior/bug

I normally call get_posts() like this:

posts = get_posts(username, cookies=cookie_file, extra_info=True,
                  options={'page_limit': None, 'allow_extra_requests': False, 'HQ_images': False})

But for posts 10215606930220434, 10111743443272349 and 10229044620250382 this doesn’t return the correct number of likes/reaction_count (it returns 0) but this:

posts = get_posts(username, cookies=cookie_file, extra_info=True,
                  options={'page_limit': None, 'allow_extra_requests': False, 'reactors': True, 'HQ_images': False})

does. For every other post I’ve seen, they both return the number of likes/reaction_count properly.

Thanks.

Now it seems that

posts = get_posts(username, cookies=cookie_file, extra_info=True,
                  options={'page_limit': None, 'allow_extra_requests': False, 'HQ_images': False})

never returns non-0 values for likes/reaction_count. Does this mean Facebook is changing the HTML format overall?

I’m trying to minimize request count, so I’d like to avoid having to get posts one by one.

https://github.com/kevinzg/facebook-scraper/commit/40c1e8a6f81d7a89256abaa0811b301875e1a6d8 should set reaction_count. Usually this would only get set if you set options: "reactions", but this would involve an extra request (to something like https://m.facebook.com/ufi/reaction/profile/browser/?ft_ent_identifier=10229047171274156)

I think you’re thinking of the posts_per_page parameter
