Thanks for sharing this thread, it's really helpful!
A while ago, I built an Instagram automation bot using Selenium. I followed some of the tips you mentioned, plus added some human-like behavior, and it worked amazingly well. My account was growing fast! But then, Instagram started limiting browser interactions, so I stopped using it.
Since phone interactions aren’t restricted, I thought about switching to Appium and pretending the connection was coming from a phone. But this idea turned into a huge project with a lot of complications, and I’ve been putting it off.
Do you know if there’s a better way to make Selenium act like the Instagram app, or how to bypass the restrictions on browser interactions?
It seems like the best solution here is to reverse engineer the mobile app, check out the API endpoints, and send requests directly to them.
