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.

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.

Re: Follow recent followers
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)
