instagram account creation question

jamie3000 · Feb 22, 2015

I'm looking into coding an Instagram bot while I'm an experienced developer I'm very new to Instagram. I planned on having 40-100 accounts and using them through the API. However I just created one account on my phone and its already asking me to enter my mobile number for verification. How many accounts can I create per device? I'm assuming I can't use a mobile os emulator if it needs SMS verification? How do you guys get around all this?

Any advice would be great!

I thought it was 10 acc per device since I last tried on my iphone. However, some are saying 7 now.

Umm OK thanks

I'll have to dig around to find out best method for the bot. At the moment it seems people must be using one of three options. The API, some sort of mobile emulation, replicate the requests from the device. I will investigate!

Mobile OS emulators do work. Took me like 30 straight hours to figure it out though, lol.

Root it, install the playstore application, then adb shell into it to change your device id. Voila. Now you can create accounts on mobile.

Alternatively, you could just create accounts on igerslike.

I have a question, does igerslike account creation is done by the same device ID or are they unique? And can I use a proxy to create an account with igerslike?

On iOS the last time I tried it was officially 5 accounts per UUID (device ID), this was like a year ago so I have no idea if this still rules...
with a minor modification on the UUID via hooks you could be able to create many accounts on the same device.

Im sure the same technique could be applied to android.

It creates a new device id every time you create an account, and yes you can use proxies.

Am I right in thinking this won't need mobile verification because it's a fresh device ID?

Instagram will ask you to verify it eventually.
