Delay between requests before to get challenged

Open francestu96 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is there a specific numer of requests for second limit before Instagram asks you for the challenge? I tired to make a request every 30s and I get challenged even with this delay after few of them!

set random delay, instead of constant delay. maybe need logging events for session activeness of account

Yes, by using random delay it seems to work. It does not ask me for the challenge again, however, after a bunch of requests I get 401 Unauthorized Unfortunately I think Meta has been very careful about avoiding scraping bots...
