Great work @Hadi as always! Many Thanks!
I understand the logic of using the scrapper to sent (liked) posts directly to the main account. Is there any guidance on how to convert these posts into followers please? I mean, I don’t want to simply ‘like’ their posts, they are my competitors - i wish to encourage their followers to follow my page without making this request in public.
Thanks again.
This article teaches you how to scrape without sending them from one acount to the other.
The only private way of doing this would be to send DM’s to them, although I personally avoid commenting and sending DM’s as it just looks fake.
A friend of mine posted a picture of her grandmother who passed away, a bot decided it was a good idea to comment “LIT 
”
Everyone engages with their competitors audience, it’s the way the everyone does it so don’t worry about it.
You could always manually follow and like peoples pages if you want to retain full control, I have another article on how to do that easily.
Here my out.
If all the scrapers send the scraped data towards the mother account.
Does that mean that the mother account is just copy-pasting the usernames or the post URL from a list and then click follow or like?
So say for example you want to follow followers of Justin Bieber who are male
Scraper goes, finds one named : Lucy43 --> sends it to the mother to follow
Does the mother go to Justin Bieber, clicks on followers and follows lucy? Or does she just copy pastes Lucy43 and clicks follow.
Cause the latter seems to leave some huge footprints. At least if you operate regularly even if you do more actions, you actually browse the IG a little bit to do your actions.
That’s something I’ve wondered as well
If it was sent trough a scraper account, the main account will be following the user based on username, as the source for the main account is set to “follow specific users”.
However when using this method, you are doing the scraping directly on the account, so in theory it should respect the sources.
You can also look into contextual actions as they go in and follow the followers of the target account directly from their page.
The scraping is done on the scraper account. Not directly on the mother account. Am I missing something?
This entire post is about how to do the scraping on the main accounts directy, but have the api calls go through the scraper account in order to protect the main account.
Sending posts from one scraper to a main account is not efficient, and not all measurements work while sending them.
I think your method is really great for M/S
I am pretty sure you are not doing any scraping on the main account. The scraper is doing the scraping. That’s what it says in the description of the tool quite literally.
The scraper does the scraping, but the filters are setup on the main account and not on the scrapers. There is no need to send posts from the scraper account to the main account since they are set up directly on the main account.
Thank you Hadi, your contributions are super helpful. Thanks very much
However, I still can’t get it to work. I’ve been trying for over 14 hours today and 8 hours yesterday. I still get the code 550 - cannot execute because you don’t have valid IG accounts logged in via api.
I have 1 scraper (my real dormant account - hardly ever use) and 1 business account.
Tried full api simulation, optimise API calls to do more actions, reset device IDs, clear cache in ED (don’t think there’s any other way of clearing cache is there?) and relogin.
And I’ve checked the tag names are setup correctly. My proxy also works and when I open the EB i’m able to do things without any problem.
API seems to be the issue for me. Could it be anything to do with firewalls / antivirus?
Thank you
How many scraper accounts do you have? how many main accounts? if one account is being used your gonna get this error since there won’t be any available accounts.
Is there a way to assign a specific Scraper account to each regular account? 
I have 1 main account and 1 scrapper. Im waiting for my order to fulfilled i should then have 4 scrappers. Do the settings remain the same as the 1 scrapper i currently have running.
Hope that works ill post on here when i get the scrappers and retry. Cheers @Hadi
Great guide but how do I know that the scrapper accounts are actually scrapping stuff and not my main?
if you go to the Tools section you can see the number of API calls made by each account. your main account should have few API calls
Thanks @Luca
@Hadi - I can now confirm the 055 error I was getting has now disappeared after adding 2 new scrapers.
So now in total i now have 3 scrapers and 1 account. All 3 scrapers are assigned to 1 proxy.
On the status page it seems to be working, please see screenshot below. What I’m trying to understand is where are these scrape results going - I’ve checked and don’t see them anywhere right now.
And another strange thing after I don’t think I see any API calls?
Again, thanks for the community support. Much appreciated in advance.
Silly me! - finally found it!
OK hopefully last question, how do I push this to my real account so my partner can simply login from her phone and start to follow these people (then few days later will unfollow)

@Adnan can you help me out with this please 
Nope, I also don’t see the need for that as it automatically pick the scrapers and spreads out api calls over all available scrapers.
