Can anybody check my simple template? #4643

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Hello, newbie in InstaPy. Can anybody check my template?

What I want?

I'm afraid of block so I have lower counts now. What is preffered count of daily likes etc? If it's possible, try to improve my template, will be very thankful.

Running it on Ubuntu 18.04 Server. Crontab (but don't know if it works :) ) - I want to run crontab in random minutes between 5-42 5-42 7,10,14,15,18,20,21,22 * * * cd /home/user/InstaPy && /usr/bin/python3 ~/scripts/instapy-quickstart/instagram.py

Thank you so much.

I dont know everyone, but going headless is a pain in the butt.. Many people are getting blocked for that (inculing me)

Before I used to do 600 likes and 200follow/unfollow a day. But from two weeks I'm happy when I can like 50 pictures/day

ghost commented 5 years ago

@yoannes so you think I have high counters? Likes, follows..

@yoannes so you think I have high counters? Likes, follows..

I dont think so, but you need to test it.

And your code seems fine, it should be ok.

ghost commented 5 years ago

ok. Any ideas from other users?

riccardovalente commented 5 years ago

I run headless and it works for me. I randomise all users and tags at every run. I unfollow non-followers after 3 days, then all after 1 week. This are my settings: 

session.set_action_delays(enabled=True, 
                    like = 7, 
                    comment = 10,
                    follow = 10,
                    unfollow = 30,
                    randomize=True, random_range=(None, 150))

    session.set_quota_supervisor(enabled=True,
                    sleep_after=['likes', 'comments_d', 'follows', 'unfollows', 'server_calls'],
                    sleepyhead=True, stochastic_flow=True,
                    notify_me=True,
                    peak_likes=(59, 572),
                    peak_comments=(21, 182),
                    peak_follows=(49, 675),
                    peak_unfollows=(38, 421),
                    peak_server_calls=(300, 4700))

It's slow but it works.

Headless ? You will be banned in a couple of weeks. FYI Headless people are ruing it for the rest

ghost commented 5 years ago

So headless is really bad choice? Will be ok if I will use instapy in ubuntu desktop without headless?

Tr1pke commented 5 years ago

Headless instagram sees : Ubuntu & unknown browser.

Non headless instagram sees l: Ubuntu & chrome

;-)

ghost commented 5 years ago

Uhm. So instagram will not ban my account if I will use "chrome in ubuntu"?

Tr1pke commented 5 years ago

no because you use a know browser, if you use a unknot browser its already a flag for instagram put on top some extra automatic actions and its easy to find out your running an automatic script

ghost commented 5 years ago

ok thank you, will backup instapy folder and will migrate it to desktop version of ubuntu.

LexLinux commented 5 years ago

Been running headless for more than 3 weeks and no ban, you need to mod the User Agent of browser.py then it doesn't show linux / unknown location, changing IP every few days seems to help.

ghost commented 5 years ago

@LexLinux still running headless?

yes I am :)

@LexLinux

I didn't have same luck as you. At least could like 155 pictures before action block

@LexLinux after changed user agent, I'm getting a problem with bot. ua:

replaces browser User Agent from "HeadlessChrome".

user_agent = "Chrome"

user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 9; SAMSUNG SM-G975F Build/PPR1.180610.011) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) SamsungBrowser/9.2 Chrome/67.0.3396.87 Mobile Safari/537.36" chrome_options.add_argument('user-agent={user_agent}' .format(user_agent=user_agent))

capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.CHROME

This is the exact process i use when starting with a fresh IP. I clear my instagram data on my mobile. Change the config for my openvpn gateway. Login with my phone and check i've got the correct ip address. I'll then check my email and make sure the location and device email has come through. Perform a few actions on the mobile, likes some follows etc. Fire up my lxc for InstaPy and confirm i've got the same ip from my gateway and the same one used on my mobile. Clear my cookie file from the python venv and backup my blacklist campaign. Start out with like by feed template or something with around 30-60 actions. When it finishes I then start up my main template and run as normal. When I was faced with an action block i do the same process only with a new IP, I ALWAYS put my mobile phone on the new IP first, not sure if that helps ... it's just the process i do.

ghost commented 5 years ago

@LexLinux but I don't have dynamic IP so I can't change it :)

LexLinux commented 5 years ago

You need to invest in a VPN or some sort of proxy, this might not work for you it's just the process i've been using and had very little issues, nordVPN is the provider i already used before using instapy and they have LOADS of servers and 6 IP's per account at one time works for my 4 bots.
