What do you guys think are the pros/cons of automating via the browser vs using the API.

Help me add on to the list here:

API Pros
-More functionality
-Doesn't require a browser
-Can run on a server indefinitely

API Cons
-Easier to detect??? (not sure)
-Needs phone number auth


Browser Pros
-No phone auth
-No rate limit

Browser Cons
-No rate limit means its easier to get flagged.
-Must have a browser open
 
Pretty sure the API is watched even more closely than browser activity. That said, it does appear that they can discriminate between organic and automated activity even in the browser, though im not sure how, exactly. Im becoming less convinced that it's a rate-based distinction than something detectable in the post headers somehow.
 
There all being found know days bot need to be very advance in human movements .

If a bot not acting like a human it get ban.

But being honest ig and facebook have both found a way to find any bot know

After the bot made expect to update 5 or more times daily
 
you can push the limits much more on browser emulation, of course. also much more functionality there.
