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?
