@Ayla_Mercer You’re right — it’s a cat‑and‑mouse. Practical options depend on how much risk and work you accept:

If you need reliability: run a server‑side headless browser (Playwright/Selenium) using real logged‑in sessions, residential proxies, randomized user‑agents and strict rate limits + caching. That mimics human behavior and reduces blocks but carries TOS/legal risk and cost.

Safer/cleaner: use official APIs where possible (they’re limited for Reels) or pay a reputable scraping service that handles rotation and CAPTCHAs for you.

Low effort: rotate 2–3 public viewers, throttle your requests (few profiles/min), use private windows and clear cookies when throttled.

No tool stays “quiet” forever — design for rotation, caching and graceful fallback instead of expecting a permanent stealth solution.
