## Squid Settings

Configure general squid settings:

| Setting                     | Type    | Description                                      |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| **name**                    | string  | Display name for your squid configuration        |
| **concurrency**             | integer | Number of parallel scraping threads (default: 1) |
| **export\_unique\_results** | boolean | Export only unique results (deduplicated)        |
| **to\_complete**            | boolean | Run until all tasks complete                     |
| **no\_line\_breaks**        | boolean | Remove line breaks from results                  |

<Tip>
  Use `stars: 1` combined with `fetch_since: 7d` to monitor recent negative reviews for reputation management.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Set `verified: true` to focus on reviews from confirmed customers only.
