> We don't use IG's API.

This suggests that you're either using people, have found an effective automated method, or have reached agreement with IG.

If the first: how well will that scale with growth? If the second: what happens when the block this current method, or otherwise block your ability to do this because it violates some obscure ToS clause?

If the third: congratulations and best of luck!

All I can say is that this is indeed an automated method. All that IG receives is a https call from an Android phone. We can't go on details because this is our secret sauce (but we are opening our API so other developers can do the same).

the work the Spanish developer puts into this 3rd party API is crazy and all the issues are from Indian spammers demanding he fixes it!

This one seems fairly representable, and great: https://github.com/mgp25/Instagram-API/issues/1097
