Wizard task template Instagram exports no data - Local extraction (free plan)
I am evaluating the service for extracting Instagram post data but I can't get anything extracted using the task template. See the below screenshots.
The goal is to create a task for extracting IG post data and use Advanced API to invoke this task by setting a different URL for each request.
Any help why no data extracted although everything pretty straightforward.
Searching the documentation I found this article, https://helpcenter.octoparse.com/hc/en-us/articles/360018842071-Scrape-data-on-Instagram which pointed me to the template here https://www.dropbox.com/s/r61rvaie4oyzyww/Instagram_updated2.otd?dl=0 which it worked better extracting some values.
It looks like I will need to learn more about creating an advanced task template to get the data needed. Any suggestions on YouTube or paid course on a platform?
