Frequently asked questions

Any other questions I will keep in this file.

Q: Does the program remember the last download and check for new posts, downloading only new posts? Or does the program download the entire profile every time?

A: The program stored posts IDs in users' folders. For the first time, the program downloads the entire profile. All subsequent times the program will check for new posts and download only new posts!


Q: How to redownload all data

A: https://github.com/AAndyProgram/SCrawler/wiki#redownload-user


Q: How to remove the label

A: There is no functionality to remove an individual label. You can open the Labels.txt file in the program settings folder and delete any label you want. You also can delete this file (Labels.txt). In this case, when the program starts, the list of labels list will be updated with only existing labels (from the user data files).


Q: How to remove a user from the blacklist

A: Just add that user back to the program. In the dialog box that opens, click on the Add and remove from blacklist button.


Q: Why don't you answer how it works

A: Because I don't want to. I don't want to waste my time explaining things that are already covered in the GUIDE! If you didn't bother to read the guide, why would I waste my time?! ALL FUNCTIONALITY IS DESCRIBED IN THE GUIDE. Before publishing a new release, I update the guide. If you don't respect my work, I don't waste my time.


Q: You lost me. Your program is too complicated.

A: I'm fine with that. If the program is difficult for you or you can't configure it, I can only suggest you find another (easier) program. I really don't mind! The program is free. I am develop SCrawler for myself and publish on GitHub because people found my program useful. If someone can't use it or doesn't like it, I'm fine.


Q: I can't configure something

A: I can only suggest you find another (easier) program.


Q: Can you add a step-by-step guide or video on how to use the program?

A: NO! The guide fully covers all the functionality of SCrawler! If you don't respect my work, I don't waste my time. If you want, you can create a video tutorial and send it to me. Then I add it. All options and what each option does described on the wiki. The wiki also contains a description of all settings and how-to configure them. For complex settings, there is a steep-by-steep guide. Read the main information and GUIDE and you won't have any problems. I have developed a program with an intuitive interface. There is a Settings button, download buttons, a context menu that drops down when a user is clicked, and other controls. Anyone can use it.

The following video was recorded by a user who loves SCrawler and demonstrates how to add credentials using Instagram as an example:
