Instagram scraper - set date range.
Hi, is it possible to set a date range for scraping instagram posts between these dates? 'Older than' is mentioned in the documentation, but I'm not sure how to use this.

Thank you! So as far as I understand I can still use JSON attribute "fromDate" but why it is not mentioned in the documentation? Or it is but I couldn't find it.
We explicitly don't want people to use it but we just kept it as backward compatible

the fromDate parameter has not been working for me. I have already scraped full pages, and only want to update the scrape for the most recent month. Is there a way to do this effectively?
@kat You'd better ask this question in "Issues" tab on the page of the actor, as the dev knows his actor the best.
In this way, the developer will give you response directly.
