| Full Disclosure: I'm the developer of statimgram.com I believe Instagram will continue to keep growing, and I wanted to help advertisers and users to have more tools to engage and reach their followers. Now with statimgram, you can schedule and post from the browser not only regular posts, but also directly into IG stories. We are launching next week, and I'm opening the API to developers as well, if you want early access please message me. |
Also, your method will 100% get people blocked. You say it's secret sauce, but you don't seem to take into account that most people here are tech folk. There are only so many ways. I know, and I guarantee it, that you use Instagram's private API by imitating the Android app. This is tripple-wrong. You violate their community terms, you violate reverse-engineering terms and you don't communicate this to your customers.
Anyone who asks for someone else's Instagram credentials automatically is in breach of their terms. So none of our businesses would even be possible. But there clearly is room for interpretation (and I've talked through this with their lawyers, too). But your approach is not where the flexibility is at the moment.
Any social-media agency is asking their clients for credentials. They violate the terms, there is no ifs and buts. Still, this will be fine. Instagram isn't entirely robotic. But you've got to approach it from the right side of things. Use the official unmodified app, use a real phone. That's the minimum. We've been running a business on those (tough) minimum requirements, and service some of the largest brands in the world. They are aware of the risk that anything can happen to their accounts at any time. But our adherence to the crucial parts helps us stay above board.
