Hi, I've got a script that tries to download reels from 2 accounts and from 2 hashtags daily. The problem is that Instagram seems to flag this behavior as a bot (understandably, after all from each hashtag I am downloading a lot of videos and even look at a lot more) . As seen on tutorials, there seems to be a way to automatically resolve the challenge error. However, from what I've seen they are of no use. I've tried the recommended solution, with no results. It never gets to try to use my get_code_from_email for get_code_from_sms as it always falls under the
except ChallengeRedirection: return Trueof challenge_resolve_contact_form. From what I've seen on my browser Instagram expects me to give it my phone, confirm the code from SMS and then upload a selfie. Is this default challenge behavior or they know me to well now and simply are suspicious all the time and give me the hardest form to verify?.If trying to use challenge resolver is of no use, what are other options?
I already do:
Should I do other things with the account, like, post a photo, search other accounts? I don't really know what I can do so Instagram doesn't flag me as a bot. Should I simply try to use a proxy?
PD: Is there a way to know the post language other than using the post description? Maybe I can decrease the number of requests with that.
