A scrapper account is just a name that we gave to the account that will be used to extract and scrape users and send them to the Main account (that you wish to grow).

We do suggest to use a scrapper account because doing a lot of API calls might get the Main account blocked after the last updates that Instagram released.

So it would be better to configure the Main account to do fewer API calls as much as possible. That’s why we suggest using a dummy account that will be doing those API calls for the Main account.

So all you need to do is create a couple of new accounts and add them to Jarvee. Then use them as Slave/Scrapper accounts.

The sources you want to target by your Main account, instead of adding them on the Source tab of the Main account as you used to do, you will now add them to the Source tab of the Scrapper account, that way, the scrapper account will extract the users from those sources and send them to your Main account.

This way, the API calls needed to find the suitable users from the sources you target, will be done by the Scrapper account, so the Main account will be doing just the actions you desire.

To enable this API update for your Main account, you will need to to enable API full emulation option on the Main account profile Advanced Settings by checking the option below:

To do so, please go to the SOCIAL PROFILE tab, click on your Main account, then scroll down and check the option Show Advanced Profile Settings. Then make sure to check that option above.

Once you checked that option, please go to Social Profiles > select the account > click Actions On Selected Profiles and then click Re-Login Accounts as shown in the screenshot below (You need to do this even if your account have a valid status):

When it’s done with re-login (you’ll see the successful re-login on the Dashboard).

1- Slave account configurations:

Go to your Slave account Follow tool – Settings Tab, then make sure this option is checked (screenshot below):

Then please go to the Follow Sources tab of your Scrapper/Slave account and add all the sources  you want to scrape users from (hashtags, followers of target accounts…)

After that, go to the Follow tool – Extracted Users Tab, click on ADD ACCOUNTS button, then select the Main account then click on OK

Then make sure to check the option to send the extracted users automatically to the Contact tool –> Use Extracted users

2- Main account configurations:

The scraped users will be sent from the Follow tool Extracted users tab to the  Contact tool –> Use Extracted users tab of your main account 

Now To make sure your Main account is going to be using only the API, please do the following:

Please go to the SOCIAL PROFILE tab, click on your account, your main account then scroll down and check the option Show Advanced Profile Settings.

–  Check the options highlighted in yellow.
–  Uncheck the options highlighted in blue.

Also, go to SETTINGS –> Social Platform –> Instagram Tab The make sure to uncheck the option below:

Please note that the option above will be applied to all the accounts.

In case you want a specific account to use the embedded browser instead of the API you can check that same option on the account level like the following account:

Once you do that, start the Follow tool (on the scraper account) and then the scraped users will be sent to the Contact tool –> Use Extracted users tab of your main account.

Now for the second part when using the send messages to new followers and the auto-reply to new messages tools:

For these tools, there is no need for a scrapper account, all that you have to do is checked the

enable API full emulation option on the Main account profile Advanced Settings

Please make sure to have the same settings mentioned previously on the main account (screenshot below) 

–  Check the options highlighted in yellow.
–  Uncheck the options highlighted in blue.

Now you can use the “Send Messages To New Followers” and the “Auto Reply To New Messages” tabs and the messages will be sent through the API.

Just make sure to avoid setting the extractions to be done aggressively and to stay below 30 Direct messages per day.
