Preventing instagram from detecting bot activity

[Nuggets228]

The account I'm working with got shadowbanned and I was asked multiple times to verify if my personnal information is correct due to "unusual activity", so instagram is clearly detecting that I'm using a bot.

My python script isn't doing anything outrageous: it logs on once, downloads one video and posts one video. It then waits 4-5 hours and repeats. Nothing that would usually indicate bot activity.

Is there a way to bypass this bot detection within instagrapi? Or would it be better to just use something like selenium with selenium-stealth instead?

Thanks!

Judging by your description, you behave not like a person, but like a bot. Users do many other things besides uploading content every 4 hours (watch the feed, go to the profile, scroll through the comments and like sometimes).

Also, are you logging in from another device through the instagram app? From a different IP address? This might be suspicious too.

Will they notice if I logout from all of my devices from the app, and only use the bot to login?

I was thinking to log everything out then wait for 2-3 days then use the bot to post a photo everyday once at a fixed time. And I'm also putting the bot into a VPS, which will obviously change the previous IP address. Hence, why I'm waiting for 2-3 days before using the bot fully. Just to make it seem like a human travelling to another country (lol?).

My profile account is public anyways and I don't care if there is anyone DM'ing me there or not. I just want to schedule a post once everyday with this bot. If anything I could just use my other account to check the profile.
