Wondering if creating a bot to find currently high engaging posts is possible

Hello all.

I'm curious if there's anyone who's familiar with IG's explore algorithm that can maybe answer my question.

Can proxies be used to create & automatically scroll the explore page to find reels that are currently receiving lots of engagement? The engagement parameters would be set through the number of likes, and more importantly the number of comments the reel has garnered in the past hours.

In my experience, after having tried with some proxies on a sun browser, the reels at first will be relevant to the curated type of reels, set by hand, and will show reels in the US/Canada, which is why we set up the proxy to begin with. Then, it will begin showing Indian reels.

Is there a better approach?

I think the proxy alone probably wont be enough since Explore also depends on account activity and other signals You could get more consistent results by tracking engagement data directly instead of relying only on what the Explore page is showing
