Error 429 - Any Solutions?

Open jdgabriel opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

I'm having this error.

429 - {
   "message":"feedback_required",
   "spam":true,
   "feedback_title":"Try Again Later",
   "feedback_message":"We limit how often you can do certain things on Instagram to protect our community. 
Tell us if you think  we made a mistake.",
   "feedback_url":"repute/report_problem/scraping/",
   "feedback_appeal_label":"Tell us",
   "feedback_ignore_label":"OK",
   "feedback_action":"report_problem",
   "status":"fail"
}

How can I solve? Could using proxy solve this problem?

Someone give me a light on how to solve please.

If you are trying to share lots of pictures, instagram may limit you and give you an error message. It's not about the API, but the Instagram itself. Try to set an interval that is at least 60 seconds between the things you want to do.

setInterval(()=>{
    sharePhoto(...); // or something else
}, 80000 - Math.random()*10000)

You cannot. As @servetgulnaroglu said, this is an instagram limit. If you don't have any questions related, please consider closing this issue.
