Is there a difference between MobileApp and Web Cookies in terms of rate limits, security checks,... when running IG Bots. I run bots for scraping using a self developped scraper where I inject web cookies int selenium sessions, do some "normal" activities (linking, following,...) and meanwhile scrape stories using direct calls to the internal API. The Selenium Session also maintains and respond to the frequent background logging events. However Bots get blocked from time to time.

Do you think just using mobile sessions would be a better idea and do you have general comparisons between mobile and web cookies?
 
Mobile api is the best, there are always less restrictions
 
Mobile and Mobile API is by far the best compared to Web API and scraping all time, most of the automation happens with Python and Web and IG knows it, you are best off scraping via mobile API
