Instagram posts by location

Hey ! I'm currently using the apify/instagram-scrapper actor and it's working great. I can gather posts as i need by hashtags or user, but it doesn't seems to work on location. I always get only one location with a few top posts and a few recent posts. How can i do to make it return results like it does for a hashtag or a user 🧐 ? Thanks for your help !

The thing is that i expect it to behave like the hashtag one : https://console.apify.com/view/runs/p2rrH4qA5O7j2Qs0F

The actor for locations only returns top posts, that are available also when you visit the page without being logged in. These posts are saved under topPosts field of the output object.

so there is no way to gather for example 500 posts for one location ?

Unfortunately, that is not possible.
