Instagram

Instagram is one of the largest social platforms for sharing photos and videos, as well as interacting with content without the need for authorization. Proxy verification for Instagram aims to confirm a proxy's ability to bypass the site's security mechanisms, provide access to authorization and registration functionality, and provide access to public content without the need to log in to an account. This is especially important to ensure stable and secure access to Instagram without the risk of blocking or speed limits.

Verification Algorithm

The algorithm for checking proxies for Instagram includes two options:

1. Verify Authorization and Registration:

   • Purpose: To verify that the proxy allows requests to the Instagram authorization and registration pages.

2. Verify Content Viewing without Authorization:

   • Purpose: To verify that the proxy allows you to view public Instagram content without having to log in to your account.

Verification of Authorization and Registration

1. Sending GET requests to the Authorization and Registration pages:

   • Making GET requests to Instagram registration and login pages via proxy.

2. Analyzing Responses:

   • Checking HTTP status codes (should be 200).

   • Check the response URL to see if it matches the expected pages.

Checking Content Viewing without Authorization

1. Sending a GET request to an Instagram Public Profile:

   • Making a GET request to an Instagram public profile through a proxy.

2. Analyzing the Response:

   • Checking the HTTP status code (must be 200).

   • Parsing the HTML response to confirm the presence of specific content (such as username and number of subscribers).

Features of the Algorithm

• Two-alternative Verification:

  • The algorithm incorporates two independent methods to verify the proxy, allowing a more accurate determination of its performance for both authorized and unauthorized requests.

• HTML Parsing:

  • Using the BeautifulSoup library to parse HTML responses and extract the necessary data (e.g., checking if certain elements are present on pages).

• Header Generation:

  • Use fake_useragent to dynamically generate headers that mimic a real user and prevent automated requests from being detected.
