Instagram-private-api: Sentry block error

[RaquelDiazG]

I have this error:

SentryBlockError: Sentry block from instagram

I don't know how I should solve it.

Thanks

The SentryBlockError means that IG blocked your account on using their APIs. I don’t know a fix but I would try to change the device ID/IP. If that doesn’t work I would try to deactivate temporary the account or changing the password (just few ideas to resolve it, I never get it).

@sppmaster had the same error and fixed by changing ip adress

@RaquelDiazG If you are trying with the generic example as your base, please check if you have changed the device.

var device = new Client.Device('someuser');

You can replace someuser with something more unique so that IG does not block your request.

@RaquelDiazG Did changing the "someuser" solve this issue? Or have you found some other solution?

[RaquelDiazG]

Hello,
For the moment, the solution that I found is to change the user and use a proxy.
But I still can not confirm that it is the solution.
I continue with the tests

Okay, yea I tested with changing the "someuser" and it seemed to work.

I tested my code on 2 different platforms, one on my laptop and another on a DigitalOcean VM. I get this SentryBlock error only on the VM, I'm guessing using a proxy is the only solution if I want it to work on the VM?
