✅ Best Practices

🔹 Use official channel URLs or @handles for best accuracy 🔹 Run smaller batches when scraping a very large list 🔹 Store numeric fields for analytics instead of formatted text 🔹 Re-run periodically to track channel growth

⚠️ Possible Errors & How to Avoid Them

Issue	Cause	Solution
Missing some fields	Channel does not publicly display data	This is normal — only public info is returned
Invalid URL error	Incorrect or broken channel link	Double-check channel URLs
Empty social links	Channel has not added external links	No action needed
Slow runs	Large input list	Split into smaller batches
