I’ve been using a couple of sites to check stories without logging in but they all stopped working recently, is Instagram cracking down on these tools or something?
Dude, Instagram is going absolutely insane with their API rate limits right now to kill off those exact scraping bots! They’re patching all the shadow-viewing backdoors because keeping that user data locked down is just too good for them. Just give it a few days, the dev community is totally gonna cook up a massive workaround, let’s goooo!
Oh wow, you mean Instagram doesn’t appreciate people stealing content without giving them ad revenue? Shocking.
Did you also just discover that apps wanting your login info might not be your friends?
