Extract Users/Extract Members (Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest)
This is the first tab that you will see when you access the Contact tool. Generally, the main purpose of this tab is to enable you to scrape users from supported extraction links. As you can see, from the extraction box, you will see a list of sample valid extraction links.

- You may choose to skip Non-English names (For Tumblr and Pinterest only)
✅ You may opt to stop all ongoing extractions by clicking ‘Stop Ongoing Extractions’ button
Auto Extract (Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest)
The Auto Extract tab works the same way as Extract Users/Extract Members. However, with the latter, the extraction from the link only happens ones and you need to re-add the link if you want to do another round of extraction.
With Auto-Extract, you can just set it up one time and let it do the extraction automatically by:
- Add the URLs or links where you will be extracting users from
- Schedule how often Jarvee will run the extraction from the link, you can set time and also randomize intervals daily.
- Set the number of seconds the tools will scroll the page
- Switch the tool ON.
- The index table will show you the Link, Status, #toExtract, and #Extracted
