[QUESTION] Any way to keep track and resume from cursor?

[TonyWilly]

Ask your question I'd like to fetch all the videos from hashtags that have quite a few videos and possibly from sounds as well. I'm wondering if I can keep track of the current cursor or challenge object or api so that I can stop and resume from the same spot. Or maybe if I could supply a starting cursor to concurrently get the data from the same challenge faster? Thanks.

The challenge.videos, user.videos, and video.comments iterators all keep track of the current cursor internally. While it's a bit hacky, what you could do is something like this:

challenge.videos._cursor = 30  # or whatever you want
for video in challenge.videos:
    ...

I haven't tried this, so you might get some errors if you set the cursor to something that doesn't work. Notably, user.videos expects a unix timestamp in milliseconds (to grab a certain number of videos posted before that time), all other cursors are just based on how many items you want to skip over.

I think this will work for me, thanks!
