}Sentiment pipeline best practices
- 1. Use residential exits for social-heavy sources.
- 2. Match geo to audience market before scoring sentiment.
- 3. Add request jitter and per-domain concurrency caps.
- 4. Use sticky mode for paginated or login-gated sessions.
- 5. Rotate UA profiles alongside proxy rotation.
- 6. Retry blocked calls on fresh exits with backoff.
