checker
username requires manual verification on instagram (429).
excuse me if this is an easy solve, i'm not a tech buff. i'm running 100 threads on a list of 70000 words to check for instagram using approx 350 free proxies that all check out as good.
however 95% of my returns are 'requires manual verification on instagram (429).' and there will then be a very brief period where the script works for a few usernames before going back to the 429 error.
i know i'm doing something wrong, i know the answer may be obvious to most, but i'd really appreciate some help with this one. thanks. andreas
oh, also the available names are not outputting properly to available.txt, all lines output read

Can confirm. But I faced this issue while checking twitters. I even tried using a single thread but the issue is not solved.
@dremara @yellow Yes, I am aware of the issue and am working on creating a caching system to solve this. The issue is due to Instagram's strict rate limits. You can only make so many requests per 15 minute window.
A quick and dirty workaround is to not use more than 2 threads and 300 word lists when checking Instagram or Twitter. All the other services shouldn't have a problem with the 100 threads.
@crock the problem is the proxy checker and the whole proxy integration isn't working.

@ZXT-Tech Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I think it's time for me to look into unit testing, so I can catch stuff like this.
i have same issue with github and 4 threads. @lgg
I think GitHub heavily rate limits. You can try using some free proxy lists (like 100 or so) or get a couple of premium "rotating" proxies.
