How do I set up a scrape account?

Hi everyone, I’m having problems setting up some scrape accounts, in the pics below you can see what settings I have checked and which haven’t. Unfortunately after having inserted the sources in the “follow sources” tab and starting the follow tool as you can see in the last picture I still don’t have any results on the extraction table (this operation was done almost 24hrs ago)… how can I solve this issue? Does anyone know of a guide for setting an account up correctly?

I usually experience this problem when I have quite narrow filter settings. I troubleshoot it by turning off all the filter settings and let the scraping run for 10 minutes. If users are extracted within that frame, it means that there was a problem with your filters. If no usere are extracted, you will need to check account and general settings. Make sure that you are scraping through the API, as I think the EB can’t scrape.

Also, you don’t need sleep times if you are only scraping with the account. I never use them and have never experienced any issues

Thank you very much! I’ll try it and let you know if it starts working!

Looks like scrapping might be the way to go
