Jarvee Basic Concepts Explained​

API:

• An application program interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. Basically, an API specifies how software components should interact.When we are performing actions through the app, we say we are performing actions via the API.

MGP25:

• This is a PHP library which emulates Instagram’s Private API. This library is packed full with almost all the features from the Instagram Android App. This includes media uploads, direct messaging, stories and more.

Embedded Browser:

• A browser we can use inside a bot. For our purposes, an Embedded browser is simply a web browser (like Google Chrome) that we can use to perform actions on instead of going through the API i.e. the app. This is sometimes advantageous to use if experiencing blocks via the API. The theory behind why it works is because Instagram is not able to track as much data as they do through the API and determine if we are a bot or not a bot.

Verifications:

• Not talking about blue checks here. We are talking more specifically about email or phone verifications which Instagram issues to prevent botted traffic.

Virtual Numbers:

• Phone number providers we can rent online to phone verify our instagram accounts on.

Trust/Health Score:

• Instagram‘s hidden metric, which determines your profile’s functionality in the Instagram algorithm and how “real” or “human” your profile is… It is a hypothetical number we use to refer to an accounts ability to be trusted via the Instagram algorithm (can’t be calculated by us). The higher the trust score, the less blocks, verifications, or even likelihood of bans an account receives.

Action Block:

• When Instagram blocks you from performing an action. Most common blocks people generally receive are Like & Follow Blocks but in theory there can be a block for any type of actions on the instagram platform like posting, commenting, direct messaging, and even story viewing.

Like Block:

• A block that prevents you from liking a post.

Follow Block:

• A block that prevents you from following users.

Fake Block:

• This is a block that shows inside an automation tool but you are still able to for example “Like” the post through the API or embedded browser. Sometimes just turning the settings on the tool you are running “on-to-off” will fix this.

API Block:

• A block that occurs through the API or app inside Instagram but where you can still like/follow through the embedded browser.

(EB) Embedded Browser Block :

• When you are blocked through the embedded browser, but not through the API.

Posting Block:

• When you are blocked from posting either manually or within an automation tool. We also refer to posts where the caption is blocked as a post block as well even though the content is posted, but the caption does not go through.

API (Login or Sentry) Block:

• A block that prevents you from logging an account in via the API and even sometimes the embedded browser.

Soft Blocks:

• This happens when you like a post and the heart turns red then white. This also happens with saves if they do not highlight or comments not showing up from other devices. Usually I notice “soft blocks” when going through the API and “hard” blocks when going through the Embedded Browser.

Action Blocked Message (Hard Block):

• A message that pops up saying you cannot perform actions until _______.
