Update: Valuable Offerings Exploding with Abundance
After implementing certain modifications, I successfully changed the maximum number of accounts I can use for the tool. Depending on the proxies employed, it is now possible to add up to 1,000 accounts simultaneously.
Within just a few hours, I managed to extract a staggering 17,000 emails. This feat was accomplished using approximately 350 accounts, a majority of which are still active.
I am immensely pleased with the outcome as it brings me closer to achieving my goal of obtaining 100,000 emails per day within the upcoming days.
Furthermore, I have expanded my account acquisition endeavors. Employing my unique and untapped strategy, I can now generate 1,000 accounts every two days, including around 500 manually created accounts that have greater longevity compared to other accounts available in the market. While I am confident about their effectiveness for scraping purposes, I have yet to test them for MASS DM (Direct Messaging) purposes. It's a venture I have not yet attempted, to be honest.
Scraping a large number of usernames is relatively effortless with my tool; however, my primary interest lies in obtaining the associated emails.
To perform web scraping, I follow a two-step process:
Firstly, I gather usernames from target profiles where my potential prospects are found. This involves scraping and accumulating a substantial number of usernames, ranging from 1 million to 3 million, from the followers of these profiles. My tool performs the scraping and takes breaks intermittently. Once I have obtained the desired amount of usernames, I proceed to the second step, which involves gathering email addresses. However, I want to explain why I don't want to do that right away.
To address this, I have incorporated two buttons: "skip scraping" allows me to directly focus on email gathering, and "Save usernames" enables me to scrape and save usernames exclusively.
For those familiar with the process, the first step is considered a light scrape, while the second step is known as a deep scrape.
The second step involves changing the accounts and proxies used for scraping and conducting a deep scrape. This approach allows me to collect email addresses associated with the scraped usernames. The success rate, which varies between 10% to 40%, depends on the quality of the page being scraped. For instance, out of 100,000 usernames, you can expect to obtain approximately 10,000 to 25,000 email addresses. The numbers may vary significantly.
To prolong the lifespan of your accounts, it is crucial never to mix light scrape accounts with deep scrape accounts. Light scraping, also referred to as "light parsing," tends to have a detrimental impact on the accounts and will inevitably result in their demise. Typically, these accounts last anywhere from a few hours to a maximum of 1-3 days before they expire if consistently used.
To perform a deep scrape and maximize the longevity of your accounts, it is recommended to employ 10 accounts for scraping when aiming to gather 1 million or more usernames.
Therefore, before focusing on collecting emails, it is essential to switch all your accounts and proxies, ideally using different locations. By doing so, your email-gathering accounts can endure for several weeks and accumulate a more significant number of emails before reaching the end of their lifespan.
That is why I no longer engage in automatic methods of collecting usernames and gathering emails. Using such methods will not get satisfactory results, as they are commonly employed by various tools that ultimately prove ineffective. I have tried out numerous tools before deciding to develop my own tool with the assistance of a developer. Among them, Jarvee was the most reliable during the period of 2019-2020. However, it eventually became ineffective.
Another valuable suggestion I can offer is to use different proxies for creating accounts. This strategy will keep Instagram perplexed to the greatest extent possible. Manual 4G proxy accounts tend to be the most successful, while other types of proxies quickly fail.
Additionally, it is crucial to rotate the IP for your proxies during the tool's sleeping period. I personally employ a setup of rotating 4G proxies that match the rotation pattern during this period.
It is advisable to use a maximum of 10 accounts per IP (proxy). However, the fewer accounts assigned to each proxy, the better, and the optimal combination is to have one account per proxy in order to maximize account longevity.
Lastly, it is beneficial to mix up the locations of your accounts.
I apologize for any shortcomings in my English, but I have done my best to convey these tips. I hope they provide hope and assistance to someone.
