Was doing 200 api calls a day on each scraper prior and they still died after a few days

What precisely are you scraping for to elicit so many API calls? What sources are you targeting and how many filters do you impose? How massive of an operation are you running?

Have 140 accounts, have some using specific sources and some using lots of filters. Doing, likes, follows, unfollows, dms etc

Youā€™re doing likes and follows via the scrapers? May I ask why? I thought we only utilize our slaves to do that, the scrapers simply gather and filter our targets. Iā€™ve had one scraper with about 7 filters scrape 200,000 users over the course of two weeks and itā€™s still alive. Itā€™s lifespan has surpassed some of my slaves even lol.

The scrapers have to pass those users to the slaves if they use EB only. Otherwise the account will do nothing.
I never use api on my slaves

So you have 150 EBs working simultaneously? How does that affect your bandwidth?

you can use the scrapers in two ways, first, scrape data then send it to the main account and the main account will do actions, second, you set the tag name method and put tags on the scarpers then set all your settings and sources on the main account and let it work, Jarvee will use the scrapers to do API calls for the main account in the background and that should keep the main account safe.

thank you Luca, that further clarifies the use of scrapers for meā€¦

Thank you for the info Luca, youā€™ve been super helpful in several threads for me now.

Sorry for my relentless questions but could you please expand a bit more on the second method. How does one enable the tag name method?

I understand the first approach, thatā€™s generally how Iā€™ve used scrapers thus far but how exactly do you orchestrate Jarvee to only read API calls from the scrapers? Isnā€™t it inevitable for the main account/slave to elicit at least some degree of API calls since itā€™s still the one executing the actual actions?

I get unlimited bandwidth and run lots of 4g proxies so its fine. Donā€™t notice anything

You need to tag each scraper account as ''scraper",


Then go in Settings > Social Platforms > instagram > general tab, tick these three options, and add the tagname ā€˜scraperā€™ next to each option:

Stop all tools on your scraper accounts. Add the sources and filters on your main account, then start the tools on your main account.

If you set your main account to use API, the main account wonā€™t do API calls for scraping, but it will still do API Calls for actions such as like, follow, unfollow, etc.

Iā€™m honestly amazed by how helpful this community is sometimes.

Hi luca. How many acc (main acc) you use for one 4g proxy? And also for Scraper?

And how many scraper you run for 1main acc?
Are you scraper die fast ?

How long are you waiting before you start sending DMā€™s? I am just starting out, and following your journey :slight_smile:

1-2 weeks depending on the way the account is going. Some accounts may work better than others during warmup

For main acc you use 4g? How many acc / proxy?

Slaves grow the mother account by bringing traffic to it. This is the whole point of mother/slave. To not use automation on the main account.

4G is the best, but also most expensive. So, depends what you prioritize.
