Basic usage

📦 First steps

Sterra is a tool with a lot of options: It can be hard to learn how to use it. Start by here before heading to the complete Wiki.

🧩 Sterra is divised by the following submodules:

EXPORT - COMPARE - ANALYSE - CONVERT - HISTORY

Each of them have their job. The most used one is export, followed by analyse and compare.

To test them, call sterra with command sterra.

📤 Export allows you to export list of followers | following | mutuals of an account;

sterra export -ssid SESSIONID -u USERNAME -t TARGET_LIST
# -ssid is your session-id
# -u is the username of you target
# -t is the list you want to get ("followers","following","mutuals" or "both")

🗓 To get the path of the file from the id:

sterra history -i YOUR_FILE_ID
