How to use Instagram API safely without get blocked

Open adrielkirch opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

People, I was using this private API and another nodejs API, both are very good but I lve Recentily got blocked for some days. Instagram says "wait a few minutes to try again". Ive heard instagram allows 200 calls per hour, that Includes likes, access a profile, comment... Even if I use in nodejs or phone thats the limit. Is there a away to preevent to be blocked, Im very worried about been permanently blocked by instagram. Nowdays instagram is very strict about using bots or any third app. Give me tips and aways you use to not get blocked, and use instagram API without getting blocked.

I thought about computing each call when I use API, saving the API call and the datetime. If I call more than 200 per hour it will throw an error to preevent being blocked. And avoid using instagram on mobile when Im using the bot. I could work?

  1. don't use your real IG account with this package.
  2. use aged, quality ig accounts (3month+ old, some followers/content/likes)

I believe,

  1. this library is version is old
  2. there is navigation chain detection in newer versions, so if you use this library there is no navigation chaining.(I think this is the main reason)
  3. In new version content type encoding changed.
  4. some api endpoints changed.
  5. http to http2 version changed.
  6. some new headers are not added by this library
