Instagram Session ID Fetcher via Proxy

Python script that logs into a CSV list of Instagram accounts through rotating proxies and fetches session IDs — preventing email verification challenges.

The client needed to programmatically fetch Instagram session IDs for a batch of accounts, each routed through its own proxy, while keeping Instagram's challenge system from firing.

Implementation

Reads username, password, and proxy from a CSV input file
Logs into each account through its designated proxy
Applies timing delays and human-like interaction patterns to prevent email challenges
Outputs session IDs to a structured CSV

Key challenge
