A lot of API errors with the "Save Post Tool" feature

Hello everyone !
I use on a daily basis a method where I have 7 scrapers with solid 4G proxies. The scrapers are only used for the scraping tools (obviously) that I use manually to retrieve the URLs of very carefully selected IG posts. These posts are then fed into source of the save posts tool of a main account. Then I do the F/UF manually. It’s a bit tedious, but it really work(ed) like a charm and allow(ed) great grow. Since a few days, my main account doesn’t save as many posts as it used to. I saw that I have a lot of API errors now (more erros than successes). I don’t know if the save post featured is now as strongly monitored by IG and restrained in automation like the other features (follow, like, comment, etc) or if it could be something else. Any idea ?

What do those API errors say exactly? Does Jarvee show a red exclamation mark for your Save tool in Tools tab? Also, how many posts does your main account save per day?

It’s tough to say anything about it. I assume that you should check what kind of API call errors are you getting. It’s possible that you’ve got blocked from doing those API calls.

Hello and thanks for your answer. No exclamation mark no. Only in the “results”, I have only 18 posts saved as usually I ask JV to save 100 per day.

Here is the error message :

well, you can test that and see, once the daily period of time when you save posts almost over you can check if you are able to save a post from the embedded browser manually or from the phone just make sure the account is stopped first before you log in from the phone and see if IG is showing any blocks or restrictions.

Hello,
This morning things are getting even worse. I did what JV support told me (restart software, start stop the Save tool). And as you can see on the attached picture, I get only API errors (still the same). No posts get saved. I tried what you suggested Luca : Saving posts from EB of from Phone (after disabling JV), works like a charm. So It’s maybe a JV issue…

you can let them know that the issue persists and they will probably ask for a TeamViewer session and check the issue directly from your computer.

That’s a lot of API errors. Do you use a proxy on that account?

Thanks Luca, yes I’m in touch with JV support. Waiting for their answers.

No not for the moment. It’s directly the IP of the VM on AWS. But I’ve used it like this since months without any problem. It’s really the first time. So normally IG bots should know that this behaviour is usual, nothing new…
