Hi

i've used many features from this repo and work many things well but i've just noticed that when i call multiple times get_profile my fb account is getting banned, are there any solution?

How many profiles are you requesting, and how fast? Is it a temporary ban or a permanent one?

About 50 profiles in 6 minutes with delay of 3 seconds, Temporary ban

That doesn't sound like typical human behavior, so a temporary ban is to be expected. Add more delay.

increased delay from 10 to 15 randomly but still same problem, the Facebook anti profile scraper is quite good :)

I think you have Cambridge Analytica to thank for that. Try one per minute.

You can use multiple dummy accounts for scraping too. Try split the 50 into sets of 10 maybe.
