Pinterest How to get around Pinterest limits? (What are they using?)

[Vinerchco]

Hey everyone!

I’m curious about how Pinterest tracks the follow rate per hour. I can follow around 300 people per hour, but that’s just not enough for me . I want to do more. Are they using things like IP addresses to track it? (So if I change my IP, could I follow more?) Or do they track through cookies or access tokens (and if so, how would I get those)?

Here’s the issue: I have 5 accounts, and after following 300 on the first account, I can’t follow more with the others!

You can't skip the follow limit, wow... What were you thinking when you made this thread?

They're likely using IP detection. So, if you follow too many people from the same IP (no matter the account), you'll hit a limit on all accounts. It's best to use private proxies and a clean browser for each proxy. This means you should clear your cookies and history before logging in with a different account and proxy. I think Chrome has an option to create a fresh browser every time you restart it.

It doesn't matter if you switch your IP or use a proxy, you’ll still be limited, rookie! Where do you guys even come from?

Chill out. Yeah, you'll definitely get limited. What I'm saying is maybe they have a worldwide limit for an IP, so if you go over it, you can't post from any account using that IP. That's probably what the OP is running into. But I'm just speculating here.

Once you hit the account limit, just switch accounts and proxies, that usually works for me. Another thing you can try is switching tasks. You can follow 280, then move on to re-pins, comments, or even follow just boards. Switch accounts and start over!

You could give these a shot, but in the end, you'll still be limited. There's not much you can do to get around it.

It's impossible to get around Pinterest's limit. You just have to stay within the restrictions.

Just do 160 per hour, I do it this way and in around 13 hours, I've followed over 1900 without hitting limits, using a bot of course.
