Use this library for enterprise projects

Hi

I'm new in Instagram API and i want to develop a project that you can manage your IG account with. I read official document of IG developers but i understood that we can't use official API for DM in IG. I saw this library as well as i want, but there is a problem for me that i can't risk by my customers IG accounts. So, i've some general questions about using unofficial libraries.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Questions

Before the questions

* Does Instagram block accounts that logged in with unofficial libraries/API?

They may block accounts if they think these are bot-like.

* Can i provide more than 10 thousand account with a server through unofficial libraries/API?

If "providing" is in the sense of "operating" then maybe. This library acts like a mobile device so you need to use proxies (as noone has 10k accounts on his phone).

* Is there any other problems with using of unofficial libraries/API?

Take a look at these issues.
