Instagram Proxy Question

the__1 · Nov 6, 2022

Hi,

I have developed a script that downloads images from specific usernames.

I am wondering whether you can recommend any proxies for use with my script? There won't be any follow/unfollow actions. Simply downloading content.

What are some good proxies that will play nicely with Instagram?

Are you going to use the script just for yourself? or other will be able to use it too?

If the script is going to be scraping a lot of data, any proxy / IP will be flagged after some use, you will need to use a proxy that rotates every few seconds/minute depending on the load of the operations your script will be carrying.

I will just be using the script myself

Proxies you can get anywhere, residential or 4G will work, your main roadblock will be account based blocks, as you will only be able to do so many API calls (or depending on how your script works if it's macro then profile searching), before IG will stop you from doing stuff, on an account level.

To scale you need to scale the number of accounts you're using to scrape data is my POV

+1 if your script is going to be using an IG account to be able to scrape, there are API calls limits based on accounts too.

The script uses the cookie ID of a logged in account, so I am going to need a few accounts as you have all suggested - thanks.

Any idea what the approximate limit is before they block because I'm currently using my person account for this.
