Facebook continuously soft-ban my account with scraper-bot hosted on Heroku #767

Every two, three weeks I scrap informations, Facebook sends me emails that say it suspects somebody entered my account and I need to change the password every time (and consequently change the cookies too). I host my bot on Heroku where it makes 2 calls per day and I suppose Facebook doesn't like Heroku... Is there something am i missing or do I have to change my password forever and ever?

Most users don't connect to Facebook from heroku, so Facebook is probably extra suspicious of their IP range. Don't use heroku for scraping
