Hello everyone!

I've been working on a scenario for a few days and am having trouble completing it.

Here's a high-level overview:

  1. It searches Airtable for information.
  2. It sends this information to an IG scraper via an HTTP GET request.
  3. It updates data.
  4. It sends a new request to pull followers.
  5. It updates the data again.

I've just figured out how to use the max_id query for pagination. My questions are:

  1. How can the scenario use the new max_id parameter generated with each API call for the next HTTP request further down the scenario?
  2. How can the latter half of the scenario repeat to pull the full list of followers? (I can retrieve 100 at a time, and I'll need about 10,000 per list).

Any constructive feedback is welcome. I'm quite new to this but eager to learn as much as I can.

:slight_smile:

Hello,

I'm missing some context here.

Could you please:

  • Rename all modules to give them a descriptive name, and then upload a new screenshot?
  • Refer to module names (or numbers, if you can make them visible – they are currently hidden) in your questions?

Please provide the rewritten markdown content.
