Guide for proxy : https://github.com/pgrimaud/instagram-user-feed/blob/master/examples/using-proxies.php

Hello, I followed the guide for proxy, using 3 proxy and I still have the same "Generic error / Your IP may be block from Instagram. You should consider using a proxy".

I am getting this too. I am used private proxy and clearly followed the guide. Anyone find solution?

aroy314 commented 2 years ago

What I did to fix the issue is to use a proxy with an IP that is not in a datacenter (like a raspberryPi on my router at home) so I don't get banned from Instagram as it seems to be a connection from a "normal" user.

How many requests are you doing every day?

aroy314 commented 2 years ago

As I cache my data for 6 hours, I do only about a hundred calls per day (according to squid logs)

Same problem

gergel0304 commented 2 years ago

I have tried different proxy (personal) but I always be blocked by Instagram, get "Generic error / Your IP may be block from Instagram. You should consider using a proxy."

Actually I was having the same issue and @aroy314 advice did work. I used a proxy to a non-datacenter IP and the bans stopped. @gergel0304 the ban will be lifted eventually but even if you begin using the same IP again, it will get rebanned quite fast :D

aroy314 commented 2 years ago

@gergel0304 have you tried with a different Instagram account + your personnal proxy ? I had to create a new account while waiting for the first one to be unbanned.

gergel0304 commented 2 years ago

@aroy314 I try to create new account, but it also be banned. Maybe data center, where I take proxy is already banned by Instagram. Can anybody advice, where to buy good proxy to use with Instagram?

Just ran into this problem. First my account was locked, then the IP address was blocked. I make one call every hour / 24 calls per day.

timohausmann commented 1 year ago

I made one call every 4 hours and ran into this issue aswell. I switched to the official Instagram BasicDisplayAPI now, since I only need post data from one customer account.
