Advanced Search & Processing Options

These options allow you to control how usernames are searched for and the order in which users are processed during program actions

Username Search Behavior

These options control how usernames are searched for during program actions.

-uf, --users-first

  • Prioritizes: Downloading posts by scraping all users at once instead of one at a time.

  • Effect: This allows for gathering all required data before downloading or processing metadata

  • Default: False (users are processed one by one)

-fi, --force-individual

  • Enforces: Searching each username provided with the --username argument as a separate request.

  • Default: This behavior depends on the number of --usernames and the number of subscriptions on account

  • Use case: This may be faster then retriving usernames in bulk

-fl, --force-list

  • Processes: The entire user list based on the currently enabled configuration settings for userlist or the --user-list argument.

  • Effect: Separates usernames within the list

  • Default: This behavior depends on the number of --usernames and the number of subscriptions on account

  • Use case: This is useful if your retriving a large number of users

Note: Using -fi might lead to a large number of individual requests, potentially overloading the target server or encountering rate limits.
