How many Instagram bots have migrated to browser simulation instead of sniffing the API?

I was kicking around the InstaPy GitHub repo and it seems those guys are now using browser simulation? I didn't look at it long enough, just see mainly all the code now uses xpath selectors.

Anyone know if other tools like Jarvee made the switch or they still reverse engineering the private API?

For the past 6 months or so, it is more beneficial to use the browser simulation than the API, it prevents more action blocks that way.

From what i know this is correct specifically for Instagram botting, with Jarvee.
