Frequently Asked Questions
Video detail pages, creator profile pages, and keyword search result pages. You can build your sample library through three paths: single-video deep dives, account-level benchmarking, and niche-wide scanning.
Start with keywords to get the niche-wide landscape, then drill into top accounts for profile-level batch scraping. This gives you both macro trends and micro-level creator strategies.
Use medium speed for routine research and fast speed for urgent trend tracking. Combine with batch intervals and the built-in stall detection for a good balance of throughput and stability.
