Instagram API and May update

Darkitos77 · May 10, 2018

Hi everyone, I have customers who use the followliker bot.
I learned that on May 24th, instagram will do an update that will introduce features to control touches on the screen (of course this is not good for bot users)
do you have any information about it? followliker will be able to do an update quickly to avoid a disservice to those who use the program? do you think followliker will have a disservice or will it continue to work quietly? follow liker uses api or is it like clicking on instagram buttons?

FollowLiker has grown to be a must-have tool for all categories of social media marketers. Over time, the usage of FollowLiker has grown significantly to the point where we now have several millions of accounts being managed with the program.

Instagram Graph API Launches and Instagram API Platform Deprecation

Starting today (January 30), we are launching three new features on the Instagram Graph API designed to help businesses better manage their organic presence on Instagram. As part of our API changes, we will also be deprecating the older Instagram API Platform over the next two years beginning on July 31, 2018. Please see the full summary below.
Instagram Graph API: Features

The following features are now available for Instagram business profiles:

Content Publishing Beta [NEW] - Available to Facebook Marketing Partners and Instagram Partners only. Post an image to Feed with or without a caption.

Business Discovery [NEW] - Discover and read the profile info and media of other business profiles.

Mentions [NEW] - Read public media that a business has been photo tagged or @mentioned in. Post comments on a business' behalf on media it was tagged or mentioned in.

Insights - Help businesses access and analyze valuable metrics about their own Instagram business profile. Enable them to understand and optimize the performance of their organic content on Instagram.

Comment Moderation - Drive interactions at scale. Enable businesses to more efficiently interact with their audience through comments under their media on Instagram.

Future updates on the Instagram Graph API will include:

Support for Non-Business Profiles [FUTURE]: Basic permissioning for non-business profiles will be supported in early 2019.

To find out more about the new Instagram Graph API features, check out the documentation.
Instagram API Platform: Deprecation

We will be deprecating the older Instagram API Platform in three phases with complete deprecation occurring in early 2020.

The following will be available until July 31, 2018:

    Follower List - to read the list of followers and followed-by users
    Relationships - to follow and unfollow accounts on a user’s behalf
    Commenting on Public Content - to post and delete comments on a user’s behalf on public media

The following will be available until December 11, 2018:

    Commenting - to post and delete comments on a user’s behalf on owned media
    Public Content - to read any public profile info and media on a user’s behalf
    Likes - to like and unlike media on a user’s behalf
    Subscriptions - to receive notifications when media is posted

The following will be available until early 2020:

    Basic - to read a user’s profile info and media

If your application supports Instagram business profile users, we highly encourage you to begin building on the Instagram Graph API immediately if you have not done so already.

You can post questions about these updates at the Instagram Graph API Launch Q&A event on the Facebook Developer Community group, and we will answer questions until February 9, 2018.
Facebook Graph API Update

Note that the Facebook Graph API just released an update about new features. Read their blog for details.

what is said in this communication I do not like much and I fear it is a problem for those who use bots. do you have any information?

can someone tell me if followliker uses api or use the browser to do actions?

I'm pretty sure all the bots here uses API

Start Earning · May 13, 2018

None use the api.

Marcel Freiberg · May 13, 2018

The reason for the update is not to stop bots but it is to be compliant with European laws concerning the protection of personal rights.
It requires Websites to describe any use of data from customers (and a lot of more annoying stuff). I am pretty sure that Instagram saved your footprint on their site since a long time but only now they have to state clear what and for what reason they use the data.

Best luck

What do they use then? LOL Of course they use the API, but the private API instead, not the public one.

Don't talk about API's if you don't know what you're talking about.

Start Earning · May 13, 2018

An API vs. the API. Note the semantic difference. But no interest to fight.

Marcel Freiberg · May 13, 2018

There are different options that work without „api“. I prefer the way by using headless browser on auto mode. Another way is using the graphQL syntax (learning Form App/Browser) with your Auth-Token after login.
Don‘t know what you would call the second way. Kind of API but not in the common meaning ...

heema92 · May 13, 2018

Most of these Instagram bots are using the private API found here:

https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API

or some iteration of this repo. As long as the Instagram app exists, these private api's will function to some extent. Here's the NodeJS version:

https://github.com/huttarichard/instagram-private-api

Followliker, Jarvee and the like will continue to function as Instagram shuts-down the non-business api.
