    Google Sheets

    This method is ideal for scraping information for multiple profiles listed in a Google Sheet.

    1. Connect your Google account
      • Click Select Google Account to choose your connected account or add a new one using Add New Google Sheet Account.
    2. Select your spreadsheet
      • Click Open Google Drive to locate the Google Sheet containing the Twitter profile URLs.
      • Choose the spreadsheet and the specific sheet where your data is stored.
    3. Adjust processing options
      • Number of Rows to Process (Optional): Define the number of rows of data to process.
      • Number of Rows to Skip (Optional): Specify rows to skip if necessary.
    4. Provide input details
      • Profile URL: Ensure the column in the sheet contains valid Twitter profile URLs.

    Loop Mode (Optional)

    • Turn on Loop Mode to reprocess the Google Sheet from the start once all rows are completed.

    Watch Row (Optional)

    With Watch Row, Google Sheets can be scanned at set intervals for new data. When an entry is added, the corresponding automation executes automatically.

    To configure, define a scan frequency and adjust start and end dates.

    Watch Row Schedule:

    • None
    • At Regular Intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes or every hour)
    • Once

    Step 5: Schedule the Automation (Optional)

    To automate profile scraping at specific times, configure the Schedule settings:

    • None: Run the automation immediately.
    • At Regular Intervals: Set the automation to repeat every few hours or daily.
    • Once: Specify a one-time run at a particular date and time.
    • Every Day: Automate scraping daily at a chosen time.
    • On Specific Days of the Week: Choose specific days like Monday or Friday.

    Step 6: Set an Iteration Delay (Optional)

    Avoid detection and simulate human-like activity by setting an iteration delay. Choose minimum and maximum time intervals to add randomness between actions. This makes your activity look natural and reduces the chance of being flagged.

    • Minimum Delay: Enter the shortest interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
    • Maximum Delay: Enter the longest interval (e.g., 20 seconds).

    Tip: Random delays keep your automation safe and reliable.

    • Split: Saves new results as separate CSV files for each automation run.
    • Overwrite: Replaces previous data with the latest results.
    • Duplicate Management: Enable Deduplicate (Default) to remove duplicate rows.

    Tip: Google Sheets is ideal for teams working collaboratively and needing real-time data access.
