Could you specify this more?

I'm not really sure what you mean...

I think it would be helpful if the tool could record the number of likes/views each post has when it stumbles across them through the like_by_tags. Furthering on from this it would be a great extension to have a threshold of likes similar to follows

Like Media, if less or more than X amount of likes.

@thehon @DanielSokil
This already is a feature...

session.set_lower_follower_count(limit = 1)
session.set_upper_follower_count(limit = 250)

Check out the readme to get an explanation of what this does

That is different to what I am suggesting . That limits followers not the
amount of likes on the individual post

@thehon I'm not really sure what this feature should be good for...
The amount of likes on a post is highly dependant on time... Even a large account will have very few likes if it has been posted like 5 seconds ago.

A time dependant feature (which depends on seconds / followers at least on minutes or hours) will probably not have a high priority, sorry.

Fair enough thanks anyway

I think what OP means is when liking based on tags or geo locations there would be some post that might have more than 1K likes. It really wouldnt be necessary to like those posts as they will be buried under lots of like notifications. It would be better to set a limit to the likes a post has. so basically telling the system to like the posts only when the posts has less than 100 likes for example and to skip if the like exceeds 100.
