facebook comments scrape returning half of comments

Hi there, I have been using the Facebook comments scrape to get comments on certain posts. The comment scraper only returns significantly fewer comments than the post has and than I specifically in the settings. for example: https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/pfbid0PewuZ1SAhtiAYhb9mF3aSA58WzaacRLiGrJ6E8jPgnusEEKGCWAoFKvSSaeBbE3rl has 103 comments, if I scrape with setting max 50 comments I get back 19 comments. https://www.facebook.com/cnn/posts/pfbid032jBgzanqd3GTT7QPSKAgpXojihCREhEM9LfSyxoxjreWaQh8egV57bDAhN5kuLGil has 132 comments, if I scrape with setting max 100 comments I get back 49 comments. Is there a reason why it is not all the comments? Is there a way to get back more comments? Thank you

Hi @Jacob , I suggest you to post your question to the Issues tab on the Actor's page, where you might get more precise answer from the Actor's developer or its users.
