Follow recent followers

[R4ziel]

Good morning, I would like to know how to "follow recent followers of an account", I tried to find this option and I cannot find it.

Custom Search
input: profile whose followers you want to scrape
STEPS:
FOLLOWERS

Check box, stop if processed before

Excuse me, is that found in the "follow" tab? In "Custom Search" I can't find the options you mention or I don't understand it.

Yes.

Followers search will return most recent followers by default.

So lets say you want to scrape 10 results, you run the scrape and get:
1-10 of those results.

Then you run the search again tomorrow, but there are only 5 new followers, so you scrape
1-5
ignore 5-15 which you scraped yesterday
then scrape 15-20 to complete your (10) results wanted.

The option "Stop search if find previously processed item" means that in the above case you would only scrape
1-5 and the action stops as you had previously scraped 5-15, so the program doesn't page past those results (which may / may not be what you want)
