insta.jpg

It seems that everything is ok, but when i log in to insta acc, nothing changes (same amount of followers and followed account), after hours of bot beeing active.Has anyone had similar problems?
 
I am trying to open the .py file after I changed the settings.

But it closes the second I open it? Please help, what is it that I am doing wrong.

I have installed python 2.7.
 
You should never use AWS ip, unless you want to get your accounts banned. I don't know what retard ever told you to use IP's that come with the vps, but you should always stick to private proxy ips that you know are good. If you see ANYONE selling you any kind of Instagram software that says it runs on the "cloud" or is a web dashboard and you don't need any kind of proxies, RUN THE FUCK AWAY!

Never run any of your instagram accounts without using your own proxies, not even if its a program that runs from a web dashboard.

Hi, sorry to see that your BHW account was banned, but I'm wondering if someone else can comment on this issue. I'm in the final stages of developing what is showing to be a very promising web service that deploys my program to an AWS server and then has a beautiful dashboard that customers can use to track insights, fine tune it, etc. The example I keep drawing from is Instafame, which is obviously a well-concealed automated cloud service that gives the illusion of actual human behavior. What I have read in some of the more reputable guides is that you're always running a ban risk if you bot accounts that might simultaneously be accessed by a human, from a cellphone or whatever. So how isn't there mass outrage from people paying for and simultaneously getting banned by using Instafame on their daily accounts? I understand that more experienced SEO people will just use it to grow accounts that they never access otherwise, but for the regular users with one Instagram account, shouldn't they be getting banned left and right?

Can someone comment in more detail on why using the provided AWS IP is a bad idea? I know that this isn't an exact science but it's really the only missing piece of my service at this point and I'd like to release it as soon as possible. Is it because Instagram knows the IP ranges for AWS servers? I've been using AWS (for my own accounts) without issue. I have also experimented with proxies but I'm not as experienced with SEO so I don't know the ins and outs of where I should be getting them. What if I spin up a unique micro instance for each individual account? I think that offering users the ability to use their own proxies, while it would decrease the burden on me, would reveal too much about the 'black box' behind the service. The reason Instafame still exists is that it doesn't use the word 'automation' anywhere and can defend itself under the premise that somebody is doing something behind the scenes (and that they manage the proxies for you).

Where do I find the best private proxies? A lot of the advice I see given seems to be vague and possibly self-promotional. Should I just buy a block of X from GhostProxies and then assign the addresses when there are new subscribers? What other factors (aside from them being US-based) should I be considering?

Anyway, I'd appreciate any insight ya'll might have. Since I'm quite the cowboy/lone ranger programmer I reckon I'll be able to offer this service at 1/4 the price of Instafame and would be happy to supply demos to anyone here once I have more confidence in my service. YEE HAW!
 
Just as a little note: you can install it on Google App Engine, so you can have your bot hosted for free and running 24/7, I have tried it yesterday and it keeps working. If you are interested, I can explain detailed how to do it.

Has someone done this and can explain how to do this?
 
hello guys, anyone know how to follow the users from post I've liked? and comment on post I've liked? Many thanks!
also I have quite a difficulty to run the bot, I can only run a few .py but many just close immediately...
 
As a programer I really excited to see how you wrote this bot :)
 
Hello I don't know if this has already been said but you can install qpython on android and let it run from there :)
 
multi_script_CLI.py is not following anyone

follow_user_followers.py: error: the following arguments are required: users

anyone can help plz
 
How many accounts should I have for each proxy. Im thinking about run 4 accounts for each proxy does this sound like a good number?
 
I try to add proxy, but when i start the script, it just try to login and then the console is closing.
 
would be interesting to know how to set cloud to run for free, maybe with the free trial on low power you can get 10-12 mounths of free usage

let's hear more from @Naulex
Ok, I have been trying it, I created an instance (ubuntu) and I am running instabot.py on it. It costs around 30$ a month 24/7 but they give 300$ of free credit for any user, so you can run it for several months
 
Hey, do i need a proxy for more than one bot? do i need a proxy for each bot and what proxy can i use? :)
 
Im having an issue. Whenever I comment, I get a response - "keep calm, media already commented" while there is no way media could be commented as I use new hashtags.

Any fix?
