⚡ Best Practices to Maximize Results

• Control Your Budget: Use the Engagement Filters (minLikes, minRetweets) and Content Filters (onlyImages, onlyVerified) to drop useless rows before they are pushed to the dataset.
• Smart Limits: Use Max Items Per Target to control how deep the scraper goes per profile or query. The scraper will automatically run until it hits this limit or exhausts available data.
• Use Residential Proxies: While the engine is highly optimized, enabling Apify Residential Proxies ensures the highest success rate and lowest blocking probability on large runs.
