⚠️ Important Notes

• Always use dedicated accounts for heavy scraping.
• Respect rate limits — the tool already includes delays and FloodWait handling.
• For maximum OPSEC use Tor (socks5://127.0.0.1:9050) or a residential proxy.
• Only scrape data you are legally authorized to access.
• Large exports can take time and consume disk space (especially with --media).
