It's doable for sure, but making an auto-posting bot for instagram isn't easy right now. How did he post without access to the business API, and I don't think the "Private API" is the answer, I've gone down that road and had a few accounts banned because of it. This is clearly just an attempt to boost their LinkedIn blogging ambitions.
- manjana 7y agoDo you have any idea what got you banned? Sudenote: I've heard that as a rule of thumb you shouldn't automate more than a few IG accounts from the same IP addr.
- controlweather 7y agoI’ve automated 3 accounts 24/7 for 9 months on one pc. Never doing anything but liking non stop. Works way better than local ads on google for local reach.
- ascales 7y agoI think the fact I had four accounts, one personal, and three that were posting a lot of content twice a day contributed to one of the accounts getting banned. I think there are a few things that will get you banned, and it's not hard for IG to tell what actions are coming from the app and when they aren't. Uploading via Selenium or another headless browser emulating a mobile device seems to be the best way to do it without emulating an entire phone.
- taytus 7y agoIt is easy. It's super easy. I developed a full product using private IG's APIs and developed a public API on top of it. I shut down the project after a C&D from facebook, let just say they weren't too happy about it :P
