Export settings from phone

[qxpx]

How do I export the client variables from my phone?

I'm using this script for a while, with generating default "settings" and dumping them to ig_settings.json, before loading them every time I do the login() method.

However, recently my session was seemingly banned, and upon deleting the ig_settings.json file, and running the script again, I was locked out with "Suspecious activity" warning.

To prevent my account from being terminated, I really want to limit the different factors at play, and completely "clone" the settings from my phone, and use these to load every time.

I know I can do something like generating a random android device, as well as look up some user agents, but I really want to copy the exact information from my phone instead.

What are the best ways to export things like:

• phone_id
• uuid
• android_device_id
• app_version
• android_version
• android_release
• manufacturer
• device
• model
• version_code
• user_agent

I have read https://adw0rd.github.io/instagrapi/usage-guide/interactions.html thoroughly, and I'm not in doubt of how to import these values, once I have found them.
I'm simply in doubt of how to export them from my phone with Instagram already installed.

Thank you in advance.

I've been toying around with this for a while, sadly still unable to "export" all the settings as they are.

Using the app Inware I was able to get further with completing the list manually though.

After installing the app, you can find a lot of the required information.
Going to About in settings, you can also find Android Version and such. You can use this spreadsheet to translate the android_version number. It's just the API level.

Regarding Instagram version you can find that in Android>Settings>Apps>Instagram.

The user_agent seems to just be all the above values combined.

I was able to find most of the requested values using a combination of Android Settings, Instagram App, and Inware.

I think the only way to get the exact information, like it is with the official app on your phone, is to follow the guide on how to intercept packages from the Author himself.
Using this method, you can see exactly how the headers are sent from your app, with the values attached.

Is there a non-android (laptop / iOS) specific solution to pull device information? I'm asking also on behalf of people who don't have android devices as me :)

The short answer is no.

But what problem are you solving? What worries you?

Thanks for replying!

I suspect it caused this issue: #1487
I'm just exploring a solution to this issue and not sure if it's related to device settings and user agent.
