thank you so much, that was exactly what i was looking for.
One quick thing tho, when you say mobile API, do you mean like an emulator. Or what is that?
Actually I used the wrong term—my bad. I meant connecting from a mobile network in general, not from a desktop, or even just making regular requests. When apps like Instagram see your activity coming from a smartphone (even if it’s spoofed and using a mobile proxy), they trust you more because it looks like you’re a typical user. Most people use IG on their phones, not on a desktop, so connecting through a residential IP on a desktop lowers your trust score.
You want to boost your trust score, since the higher it is, the less likely you’ll get flagged or detected.
Mobile proxies are the best for trust scores and come with extra perks, like rotating your IP to get a fresh one. This is super helpful if you’re running multiple accounts. If you’re using one IP for several accounts, Instagram will spot that as unusual behavior pretty quickly. But with mobile proxies, rotating IPs looks normal since mobile networks often change IPs regularly, even when you’re just using your phone normally.

Just wanted to make that clear as background information. So to answer your exact question:
I suggest running multiple accounts through an emulator or browser that lets you spoof your hardware. Pair this with a good mobile proxy, and you’ll have a solid setup. From Instagram’s perspective, it’ll look like you’re using a regular phone, even if you’re running several accounts at once.
If you want a simpler approach, just use your phone. You’ll be limited to a few accounts, but it’s straightforward. You could use a local SIM plan, but check your local prices—some mobile proxies offer unlimited data for a better deal. You’d need to manually rotate your IP by toggling mobile data off and on, but that depends on your region (it works in most places). However, this method is more limited in terms of automation.
