Follow accounts with/out account. Assume I have a list of account URLs in bookmark folder How to convert it to RSS and have bookmarks and RSS in Sync.
Accounts can change username, need to use the API to convert usernames to some id and back to usernames.
Suggest similar accounts.

I am not an expert and I think this falls at the first hurdle because a login is required to view more than the latest post or two.

Here is how I use it: you take an old device that you never installed Insta on, run it under a burner account at the OS level, run a kill switch VPN on it (preferably always on the same server), and then create an account on Insta that you're ready to ditch the moment they want your ID. That device doesn't do anything else than Insta.
