I code myself as well, and have over a decade of experience in a couple languages.. but that's neither here nor there, good to speak with a fellow programmer.. but I do know that alot of these fly by night bots that pop open make use of the API, anyone looking to make a sturdy bot wouldn't imo because they can do exactly what they're doing now a switch it up.

Bots dont use api . To make use of instagram official api they need a token and app id which is given by instagram and no matter how many proxy you use , you need that appid and token to register your request (comment request ,follow request ,like request etc) at instagram.Instagram can easily track that and block that bot . This means that bot will not work for any of his current or past user .Another option for that flyby night bot is to ask every user to register his app at instgram and then input that appid and token into their bots besides username and password which i think is not the case for any of the bot.

Bots use web browser drivers and simulate user behavior .It means bots use firefox or chrome library without the gui .There are web drivers for every language available .One famous one is selenium .So in short bot is nothing more then a web browser which opens instagram logs in as user and then make automated requests .

i dont see why anybody who is in bot business will make use of api .Not the most stupid bot maker will use api .
