Instapy: Bot block the account after one day use

[mikegrep]

Possible Solution (optional)

InstaPy configuration

I use interact with followers from file after I grab users after one day of use I was blocked from Instagram My settings are 40 likes per hour 35 following no comments. How can I prevent next time to not block me

[Ardy000]

In my experience. Basically running instapy off a desktop computer is no longer possible.

[mikegrep]

Why that @Ardy000 what's is the diference from server and desktop.

[Ardy000]

Instagram does not allow many operations when not using the actual app (instapy uses the web browser)

server is even worse

[mikegrep]

Ok that make sense.What alternative it have if not desktop then.

[Ardy000]

I'd start looking at other bots rather than Instapy. Or you could try running Instapy off a mobile phone (i haven't tried that so I don't know if it works better) instructions for that are on a medium.com article you can find it by google search

[mikegrep]

Thanks I see the article I will try.But still need some solution for desktop

[Tr1pke]

i run my instapy everyday without being blocked ...........................

[BoringBears]

@Tr1pke can you share your limit setting? are you running on a desktop or some other device?

I'm running Instapy on UBUNTU that runs in a ESXi VMWARE server, my ubuntu has GNOME installed with firefox
my headless_browser is set to False else its to obvious to track its a bot. headless_browser=True is a big BS (sorry)
Sometimes I need to click on the accept button sometimes not. its not a big deal if you start the bot you want to make sure its started and you can wait 2 min and press is manually don't be lazy, nothing goes automatic except the rising of the sun.

For every different account I have a different Ubuntu OS installed in my VMWARE server so it won't mix files and if I fuck it up i copy a working VM OS and its back to normal.
I have 4 CPU's and 128GB installed in my VM server so got plenty resources, and for small things like instapy you can make you're own VM its easier for instapy

My VMWARE server is standing in my own server room in my basement (i host small VM's for people)
I change my IP daily or per instapy process I start. (if I restart my modem i get a new IP)
During my instapy run I NEVER open that account on a different IP so only at home, since this is also a trigger for instagram to block you.

Like you will see in my script I change my script all the time that's why some settings have the # in front and some not + i change my amount number every time a start instapy Thats why i have #### and #---# to make it easy on myself.

If you always run the same script it will block you within days...…
what also helps sometimes I don't run the script for 48 hours and do some manual things like a picture follow a new person etc
That's also why I have a large "session.set_dont_include" list, in this list are all my _real_ friends that i really want to follow, if i follow a new friend that I want to keep ill add him to the session.set_dont_include list.

My conf:

`

remember if you want to make it work you need to work a little bit yourself or pay someone

You need to act like a human. A human is not following like unfollow the whole day. We eat drink sleep work 😀

[rxng]

Any way to
1) randomise the quotas values

2) make the script sleep for 48 hours break like you mentioned ?

@Tr1pke

Yes.

1. Change the script manually with a text editor ......

1. Stop the bot and turn it back on after 48 hours ........

[rxng]

Any way to randomise the values programmatically? E.g. using python randint

Probably there is, but what's random for a computer? ....

[rxng]

if you are going to do this peak_likes_hourly=10,

you could do a random number between 8 to 12 instead, each session

e.g. randint(8,10)
