Bro this is not an API, it's just a module that makes you able to intract with the official Instagram private API, so Instagram will never know that you're using a specific app or something, becuase we can say that this module emulates the Android app. In the other side, Instagram can detect when you use innormal requests like spam for example, or requests that seem to be irregular on the real app, so it can know that you're automating your account and using it outside the app, which this can lead your account to get banned. Use this module but becareful with requests. So this is it, I hope I answered you questions.

short answer? yes they can block your app

i wouldn't start any long term project based on instagram api now, since they are very very commited into stoping all sort of unnoficial apps [people who are longer in here know that 2 years ago things were super easy]

if you still got curious about, just read my last comment on
