Hi guys, Just today on my main accounts I got this Error Code 550. I use both API and EB only. However all accounts are 0 actions and at midday already. Did anyone else have this issue? I searched the forums and found the common occurrence is from scrapers but all my scrapers work fine. All scrapers are on DC proxies and all main accounts on 4g. Any help will be greatly appreciated, awaiting for Js reply too ---

This should mean that there was no available account that uses API when this actions supposed to be executed. Check if you have scrape API blocks and if your proxies are fine. ---

I suggest in the future to keep contacting support when you have problems. They helped me fix a lot of problems and even gave me some great ideas that aren’t online. ---

Relogin to your scraper accounts. If the error persists, add additional scraper accounts and that should solve your dilemma. ---

Make sure the tagname of your scraper accounts match the tagname you add in Settings \> Social Platforms \> Instagram. ---

Thanks guys, it was scrapers. All got hit with email verification - These of course use all use API. I’ve not used this method: > [@\[METHOD\] Alternative Way to Setup Your Scraper Accounts -JARVEE](https://mpsocial.com/t/method-alternative-way-to-setup-your-scraper-accounts-jarvee/104938): > > Hello, I got a lot of positive feedback on my previous post, so i’m here with another one! I’m going to show you guys an alternative method to setting up a scrapper account. Some of you might already use this method, but based on what i’ve learned, and from talking to people on this forum, I figured that not everybody uses this method. Disclaimer: this is how I personally set them up, it doesn’t mean that this is the only way to do it I will cover the following: -Setting up tag names. -Ma… I have been using a 1 to 1, are you guys using Hadi’s method for scraping (say using 10 scrapers and they randomly work and feed to 20 main accounts) Thanks ---

JV says that you need at least a third of the accounts setup as scraper accounts. So if you have 20 main accounts, you need at least 7 scraper accounts. But nowadays scrapers get hit with EV/PV easily, so you should have more scraper accounts. In that thread you can see other users recommend 2-3 scraper accounts for 1 main account. ---

If you set proper delays, and timeouts for api errors, you’ll avoid getting email and phone verifications on your scrapers. I was replacing mine every 3 days, I still haven’t replaced them in going on 3 months after making the adjustments.
