FAQ

Do I need a Lemon8 account, cookies or a proxy? No.

Which region do results come from? Search and hashtags return the US feed, mostly English posts.

How many posts does a hashtag return? Usually 30 to 60 per run. Lemon8 serves hashtag posts as a feed, so the Actor keeps asking until it stops getting new ones.

Why do some posts have no comment rows? Comments are fetched for posts with at least 2 comments.

Can I get all posts of one creator? Not yet. Creator rows carry the profile numbers; posts come from search, hashtags or links.

Are images and videos downloaded? No. Each row has direct links you can download from while they are valid.
