instagrapi VS instagrapi-rest

instagrapi

So I decided to help her out and found a few libraries to automate ig posting and uploading of stories.

So I built a quick script using https://github.com/subzeroid/instagrapi.

The script is nothing fancy (i'm not a good programmer). It just authenticates to ig, fetches the historic post from her ig feed, picks 3 random posts and uploads that to ig stories.

I coudn't be bothered to deploy that anywhere so I'm just running it with a cron-job in my local mac. It was running fine for 2 weeks and now ig is asking me to "Please wait a few minutes before you try again" .

The account recieved a few notifications about instagram suspecting the account was automated.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Should I use a VPN or what is the best practice?

I just can't handle seen her wasting 2 hours a day doing something I can easly automate.

Thanks!

So I dag up, and found a Python script that (maybe) could, but does not work. It use Instagrapi.

If you are thinking about doing ANY instagram scraping, please please please check out Lamadava before you try Apify. Honestly these guys are doing the Lord's work. And no, I am not a spokesperson or paid to do this i just really like their service. Link: https://lamadava.com/

The instagram API no longer provides access to targets, look at the issue page on the git hub. Or try https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi

someone on the github recommended this https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi but unfortunately it can only get already public phone numbers from business accountd

did you check https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi ?

Try instagrapi

I recommend my python library for automating your Instagram account https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi/ and for other languages https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi-rest
