Best practices

Get the most out of this Automation while staying efficient and compliant.

Start small to validate. Begin with a small batch of profiles to confirm output structure and data quality before scaling.

Understand rate limits. Rate Limit: Processes ~100 profiles per launch. Execution Time: ~3 minutes 40 seconds per 100 profiles. Leave "Number of profiles to scrape per launch" empty to process max/approx 100 per run.

Plan for limitations. Private/deleted/suspended profiles will limit available data. Account data is a snapshot and changes over time as users gain karma or update profiles.

Use this to filter out low-credibility accounts. Focus on users with established account age, verified emails, or high contributions to prioritize genuine engagement.

Free Plan: Max 10 rows export, no CSV upload. Upgrade to process larger batches and enable CSV input for scaled workflows.
