Thatā€™s rare men. There is no doubt 4g proxies are better than any other!

How many api calls are your scrapers doing per hour/day?

#44

check the accounts if they got a verification WHILE they were scraping or while the were delayed - since a few days newly created accounts are getting verfications pretty fast also while not scraping

You mean error 550, right? What sources are you using on your scrapers?
You should not check use only EB option on your scrapers since they still need to use API to scrape from your sources.

:yawning_face:

Good luck with the sales but really donā€™t need to go to the usual sell routine of
try out your scraper -> change setting -> nah bro try these proxies -> residential the best -> nah buy more try 4g -> ahh die -> Instagram update -> just need to verify account -> try new setting

Kidding mate!
Good luck

Yeh, account creation is harder these days too

#48

HAHAH! I sell everything but proxies :crazy_face:

I was asking you about how many api calls your scrapers do. In my servers, the scrapers are usually delayed cuz the settings iā€™ve appleid!

I just can recommend double check your settings/filters applied to your mains and scrapers!

Yea, Iā€™ve been reducing the api limits day by day, noticed most accs go tits up around 400-500 total API calls which is very low. I used to be able to do 500 a day for a few days before.

yea this, what do you mean what sources? followers of target accounts.

#50

Once they reach around 500 calls they starting to get banned/captcha/TL?

#51

In the past 10 days or so we dropped down to 250 per day and even then they are getting hit :frowning:

#52

I tested 10 blank scrapers at 30/100 API calls per hour/day, and they died in 3-5 days (DC Proxies). So might as well run them at 50/400 then, get the benefit before they fry.

yea, more or less this is pretty much what it is. Weirdly even if I spread it out like mentioned below:

On the mobile proxy, I see similar results. 30h/100d is very low as well, with half-decent filters thatā€™s not even 5-10 accounts scraped per day so would require 20 scrapers per 1 main account to reach 200 actions a day.

Did anyone try warming the accs up in a longer time? Like 3-5 days? Thatā€™s what I wanted to test next but doing even less than 100 a day is such a waste of the scraper acc lol. It doesnā€™t produce even 10 results to follow/like.

edit:

I had mine on 100/400 and out of 15 I checked today they all died within 350-750 API calls. Iā€™m also gonna run a test group on rotating mobile with 30/100 just to see if I can outlast 350-750 API calls or not.

I donā€™t mind having even 30 scrapers per main as long as they live for a little longer lol. Gone are the days we could do 5k API calls/7 days before they die seems like.

:+1:man u are legend :joy: patience level :100:

#56

hmm this is interesting! Iā€™m literally just setting up a bunch of test accs on rotating 4g and planning to do little below what you do 30h/100d - will see how it lasts! Your message does give me a little confidence.

But, you must have like 40 scrapers per main account to reach 200 results on follow/like tool? xD

#57

Since I use ā€œfollow specific userā€ and only follow / unfollow 10 scrapper per main account is enough hahaha

#58

haha this is nice. Oh so you donā€™t use tag name method, where you put all your scrapers under the same tag and use them to scrape? You use the old method - which basically follows on the scraper and sends to the main account specific users to follow?

Hm interesting, someone else said they had good results with that. I ran a bunch of test accounts and burned them in a day but my API calls were high lol. Guess I can test run this too with much lower settings. Cheers

#59

You can dial down api calls even by manually targetting sources better honestly. This way you can exclude a lot of filters already

I did see that having more sources and filtering their quality out does reduce the API calls, but the biggest problem here is the filters. I usually want to have decent filtering and that really increases the API calls
