A: Hi! šŸ‘‹
Yes, we have users successfully scraping from major social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and others!
Our Anti-Detection Features:
šŸ›”ļø Built-in bypass mechanisms:

Human-like behavior simulation (random scrolling, natural timing)
Residential IP network with automatic rotation
Browser fingerprinting protection
CAPTCHA solving (95% success rate)
Session management for logged-in scraping

Important Considerations:
āš ļø Social media platforms have strong anti-bot measures, so:

Success rates vary by platform and data type
Some features may require logged-in access (we support auto-login)
Rate limiting is important - don't scrape too aggressively
For logged-in scraping, we recommend using your own proxy (coming soon) to protect your account

Best Practices:
Start with public data to test
Use reasonable delays between requests
Rotate through different workflows
For personal accounts, wait for our custom proxy feature
