FAQs

Does this scraper require login credentials? Yes. Interaction data is tied to user identity, so authenticated access is required to retrieve complete posts, reactions, and comments.

Can it extract posts from multiple profiles? You can configure targets through the input file and run batch operations as long as each target is accessible to the authenticated session.

Does it support exporting to different storage formats? It can output JSON by default, and custom export modules can be added for CSV or database ingestion.

How does it handle rate limits or temporary platform slowdowns? The scraper includes retry logic, timeouts, and pacing controls to maintain stability across long-running extraction sessions.
