I started playing with instagrapi a few days ago and combing the source code. I'm trying to make a bot that can infinitely scrape emails from posts in a hashtag.
Right now I grab posts from a hashtag using the low level _v1 functions, then I grab the username from each post, then I search the user's profile and grab their email if they have one. My account is getting locked quickly.
I assumed using the low level _v1 hashtag scraping methods would be best but my account gets locked quickly when I set the amount to 500 or 1000.
I also tried to implement the handle_exceptions example provided but I'm confused by the example because it uses functions like "self.freeze" that aren't provided in the example and errors out.
What are some recommendations if I want to infinitely scrape emails from a hashtag on IG? Multiple IG accounts? Rotate proxies? Broadly handle exceptions? More?
