Ah ok, I got it mixed up. In that case, why is EB recommended over the API when the action blocks start coming in, if the API route looks more natural?
You’re right, they must have a method. It would be nice if we can configure everything like we can in Jarvee and send the output and operations to an app or program which resides on a mobile device to run it through the official instagram app on the real mobile device. Only problem is you’ll need a different phone for every account, unless you set a timer which cycles through accounts.
The api doesn’t look natural. IG can determine whether you’re using the official IG app, or automation software. API is the closet thing you’ll get to doing actions thru the app.
Reason people were using eb when blocked in api, because the way the algorithm works it allows the account to continue actions. But it also leads to AC, that’s why it’s recommended to use either one or the other. The browser gave less temp blocks prior to the update, as majority people were using the api… so they didn’t really have a reason to tackle the browser. Now that they know most users have switched to automation thru the browser, expect things to get much stickier in the next few months doing actions thru the EB… as it’s only a matter of time before they do. May not be what ppl want to hear, just the reality.
I’m not sure if that’s true. There are selenium based bots out there plenty of people use. I would say browser was probably one of the first things they looked into when they started blocking automation. How many people you know actually use IG everyday via a browser? I don’t know any. If I have to guess, probably a high percentage of the actions from browsers are done by bots rather than human.
You’re right about there being browser bots available… but its also known that you can’t run accounts in bulk via the browser, and that 90% of their spam came from the API. I’ve never heard of anyone having any issue botting using the browser before the api update… other than it being extremely slower.
You need to be a little more specific. Is that traffic from browser? If so, is it broken down into traffic from real human vs bot? If it’s not broken down, then I ask again, how many people do you actually know who use IG on the browser?
Look at the stats it’s very clear the millions accessing IG via the web.
I don’t understand what you are trying to get, you said that nobody use the browser and I just shared a chart showing the millions that do it worldwide.
if you are trying to say, very wrongly, that only bots use the browser you need to study more, is like saying that only bots use the API calls. No sense.
What I’m trying to get at is that just because millions of access via the web, it doesn’t necessarily mean millions of actual users access IG via the web if you can’t separate out the bots in that data. If you can’t separate out the bots, your data doesn’t disprove my original point at all.
I didn’t say only bots use the browser, I said a high percentage of browser use are bots. Just think about it. How many people do you know actually use IG via the web and how many people do you know have how accounts running on selenium bots? That doesn’t make you think there is a high percentage of bot in total web traffic? Amount of total web traffic is irrelevant to what I said.
