Additional info

• HIGHLY recommendable to test with a throwable instagram account. DO NOT test with an account you can't afford to have suspended for 24hs

• To reduce chances of a temporal block or suspension, the more human-like is the account's activity, the better. If possible, make publications with the account. If possible, have the account linked to a facebook and twitter accounts. If possible, before using the bot with a new account log manually in a chromium browser in the same computer

• This bot does not support two-factor authentication.
