highlight_print(self.username, message, "login", "critical", self.logger)

        self.aborting = True
        return self`

However, the block still applies when liking an image...will continue testing and update.

@ArdyBeheshti are you sure you're using the latest version of dev? I copy/paste your setup and It's running without issues

[converge]

@martin-schmidt how do I reproduce it?

[converge]

how do I reproduce that @johnvfitness ?

[krazybean]

For me, when i get the prompt asking for code via Email, i enter the code provided by email as the security code in the prompt, but then the script fails and I immediately get a text afterwards from instagram with another security code.

Is something being done twice? Invalidating the first attempt? What's the new flow?

@krazybean what's the error msg?

Just tried the DEV branch, it worked for 50 likes, then blocked again.
I have used it on VPS with CentOS 7 there installed.

[johnvfitness]

Same error 30 like and block

[ronconkreet]

Same. I set 1 like and 1 follow for 63 seconds.
Unfollows also don't work.
Instagram got us the a** 😇

[converge]

delete cookie file and try again (with 0.6.0/dev) branch

[krazybean]

tried on 0.6.0/dev, was able to get through about 30 before i got the dreaded

[alexsmedile]

Might help:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33225947/can-a-website-detect-when-you-are-using-selenium-with-chromedriver

Apparently, Instagram is starting to detect patterns.
I tried scheduling a cache delete every few hours but it didn't fix the problem, every 10-30 server calls I got detected anyway. Action delays don't help for what I can understand...

TEMPORARY FIX

1. Change your Instagram password
2. Delete InstaPy cookies (you'll find it in InstaPy/logs directory)
   2b. I also deleted browsing data manually in Chrome
3. Change your IP
4. Add your new password to your code
5. Enjoy for a few hours

Your Account Was Compromised
It looks like you shared your password with a service to help you get more likes or followers, which goes against our Community Guidelines.
Change your password to continue using Instagram. If you share your new password with one of these services, you may get blocked from following, liking or commenting.

[rvoets]

I also tried the dev branch and got blocked after 15 likes.

[johnvfitness]

Same error blocked account ☹️

[Affenjimbo]

Same for me on 2 accounts. But I can like on phone and browser manually when I delete the cashe.

[silensinator]

@converge I have a hypothesis. Could it be that they are detecting how we interact with photo and they implemented some event/javascript from the profile/photo icon?

Cause right now we are
1) Gather all the photo/profile URL
2) Direct access URL (without heading back to the profile)
3) Click like/follow/url

For like: Could the bot detection issue solved by clicking the photo -> then only like instead?
For follow: Use the search bar to search for the profile name / click from user following/follower?

I believe IG are detecting by identifying version of browser then analyze the pattern proceed with ban if they direct access using URL (cause no human will remember so many URL and directly access them)

Let me know if this sounds logical.

[CharlesCCC]

@converge Not sure if you seem this, but there is a good discussion on here regarding to some headless browser detection link

Maybe something to consider.

[converge]

@CharlesCCC thanks, I did that, but they're still recognizing it

[rvoets]

@converge What kind of setup do you use? Using like by tags or something else?

[converge]

@rvoets I just develop

[lguizi]

try using one function 1 or 2 times than use another random function 1 or 2 and keep doing this...

[Mehran]

no any Solution for this till now?

[martin-schmidt]

@converge

@martin-schmidt how do I reproduce it?

Use the dev-branch and call get_following from instapy/relationship_tools.py. Hit the line 351.

[Mehran]

@martin-schmidt dev-branch helping to prevent from blocking?

[martin-schmidt]

@Mehran

@martin-schmidt dev-branch helping to prevent from blocking?

No, I still get blocked after ~30 likes.

[johnvfitness]

Same Error blocked
Last dev instapy

[Mehran]

seems bot dead now

You should create another branch, different than master one, and then pull dev into it.

[converge]

0.6.0 was released, pip3 install instapy -U will update it for you.

Good Job , still blocked after 10 on firefox :( @converge

the block depends on the account, I have one I forced a lot, and it's blocked, I have another one that I dont use much, and now it's working well.

I can absolutely second this. Two of my accounts don't work and one works fine.
Just tried on one of the blocked ones after 4 days and get the block again right away.
Anybody have an idea on how long to wait until the block gets removed? Does it ever?

@converge what is the rate of your another account that doesn't get blocked? 50 likes an hour? And how long does it rest?

+1 The action delays config you got might be helpful for all of us who are being blocked everytime

[silensinator]

And also those who get like ban, which platform are you using (eg. Windows, rapsberry, etc)

[ghost]

+1 for me... blocked on all actions for instapy but in the app, on my phone, it works fine.

Windows 10 using the latest instapy with firefox.

[mario1105]

And also those who get like ban, which platform are you using (eg. Windows, rapsberry, etc)

I'm runnning it in a server with an Ubuntu VM

[Affenjimbo]

I am running it on win.

[ghost]

I have different stories: totally unable to run on a cloud vps server (CentoOS-7) with both my accounts, I get blocked after 1 like attempt.
At home I run a Synology NAS with a VM with CentOS-7 installed: at the moment (and hope it will continue) both my accounts are running well, without issues.

[converge]

my "other" account, it was inactive for months, I just tested it for some hours, all good with that.

[ghost]

do you have action delays in your script? if so, are you able to share your settings along with your quota supervisor settings? @converge

[converge]

Don't follow my setup, it's the worst, I just do like by tags, folllow user followers and unfollow. nothing fancy about it.

Still running? @halalfood

[Mehran]

I think it's Risky nowadays use a bot, they Detected it should wait to find a stable and undetectable way.
.

[Jbry123]

My problem is a device block I believe, basically they’re recognizing that it’s not mobile, then watching for patterns, hence I get blocked after 30 likes,

Have you guys looked into Jarvee?

[Jbry123]

And I’m still able to like on my phone after that

[GaWr26]

Have you guys looked into Jarvee?

Jarvee does currently not work for Instagram for me. I tested and now two of my accounts get instant blocks. One Account I didn't use in Jarvee works super smooth with InstaPy on 0.6.1 with the new approach using firefox and hiding selenium from my residential IP.

Need to wait a couple of days until I can enable the other accounts again with InstaPy.

I think InstaPy is closest to nailing it again after the recent changes.

[ghost]

still running but I ran into action blocked unfollow limit. I'm going to lower my hourly/daily follow and unfollow limit because it's still too high.

Try to login manually using your browser (Firefox), fill in the code for the unusual login attempt popup and when that's done try again with instapy. That's how I fixed it @sergiosre

If this helps someone, I have been running like_by_locations and like_by_tags for months without problem, but 2 days ago tried grab_following, follow_by_followers and inmediatly got an IG notification of "Your Account Was Compromised" so better stay away of those scrapping methods

@luisGithubPeru I tried running it again after a few months of doing nothing and got blocked after 30+ likes using like_by_tags only. Could you share how many likes you are you doing per hour? Thanks

Sure @rvoets , after some research I defined the following limits for a 2 months old account (I always use less actions that the ones recommended on IG blogs) :

---

Daily Limits

daily_likes = 150 # recommended 200 max
daily_comments = 20 #recommended 30 max
daily_follows = 40 # recommended 50 max

Hour Limits

hour_likes = 50
hour_comments = 5
hour_follows = 10

Delays

delay_seconds = 40
delay_random_factor = 1.5 # this makes delay go from 40 to 60 seconds (40*1.5)

---

These are the settings I use for my Bot, the engagement is very slow for a viral account but mine is for an online store and it's really helping with sells (It is also helping my facebook which I have no idea how).

I got blocked 2 times, 1 was a full block when using "follow_by_followers" and the other was a comments block using "like_by_tags" which I think was because I made more than 200 likes and 30 comments per day, so I disabled comments and lowered the likes rate. Now I'm getting from 5 to 10 followers per day and my comments ban dissapeared.

Also creating original content and then interacting using the right hashtags, locations and follower lists has got me better results than raising the likes rate, good luck!

Thanks a lot @luisGithubPeru for sharing your settings. I'm already seeing big improvements although my bot got blocked on Likes again after running for about 10 hours (which is way longer than before). Are you using like_by_tags or something else? I'm doing 10 likes per tag but maybe this can be improved as well.
