[BUG Issue with Insta posting.

[ghuser9822]

Seems like there is some issue with insta login.

It was working fine. But now throwing issue...

Might be some issue with the headers being used. https://stackoverflow.com/a/35010312

How to resolve this and how much frequency do you suggest per hour /day of login through this?

@88um getting same issue even though trying to different IPs, any other suggestions you may have?

@khaledhawari All your IP addresses are already in Instagram's temporary blacklist, change your proxy address provider

[khaledhawari]

@adw0rd thanks for the reply! will give it a go

[khaledhawari]

@adw0rd could Instagram block login attempts detected from its app only?

Im able to login from browser, but through instagram app on my mobile or through script i get the same error

[adw0rd]

@khaledhawari Maybe yes, instagrapi uses the mobile api for the most part

@adw0rd you were right, used VPN and was able to bypass the issue! any news regarding the Status 429: Too many requests issue? Might it be related to why IPs are getting banned?
