## FAQ

### Can I extract full comment threads including nested replies and engagement counts?

Yes. Scrape.do supports browser rendering and DOM-based selectors so you can extract deeply nested replies, thread structures, and full engagement metrics like replies, likes, and shares.

### How does Scrape.do maintain session stability across high-frequency scraping of profile pages?

Scrape.do uses real browser sessions with cookie management, sticky sessions, and proxy rotation to keep scrapers consistent and undetectable over time.

### Is it possible to scrape social feeds continuously without being flagged or throttled?

Yes. Scrape.do handles proxy rotation, header spoofing, TLS fingerprinting, and retry logic so you can run continuous scrapers without triggering anti-bot defenses.

### Do you support scraping mobile versions of social platforms for UI-specific content differences?

Of course. Use device=mobile parameter to make your scraper scrape exclusively mobile versions of any platform.

### What happens when a platform changes its layout or JavaScript behavior? Will my scraper break?

Scrape.do uses real browser environments and DOM-level interactions, which makes it resilient to layout changes. If the selectors are picked correctly, layout changes unless drastic shouldn't affect your scraper.
