I think i figured out why bots are detected.

I use a different deviceID/settings for every single account,

and i'll always choose a different coordinate(but near to the original one) every restart.

Doesn't make a difference.

First many people said bla bla I'm still botting since banwave but don't show any proof so for me that's fake until you prove I'm wrong.
Second Niantic is banning by waves so maybe you think you've been lucky or something like that but don't trust that, when your account is flagged for using cracked API you'll be banned that's just matter of time, actually absolutely no one survived to all banwaves and are still botting so no, that's not strange, Niantic works like that.

As i said somewhere else, i perfectly know the account will be banned soon or later. What i mean is, you don't just get banned when you log in as the person i replied to said.
That said, i repeat, i never got banned (yet) and if i can prove you wrong, i will, what proof you want? Some screenshots?

problem with the API is, it only sends 2 coordinates.
x and y
but the mobile app sends x y and z which is in the api always 0. so this means you go like 20km but u run into the ground or your able to fly bc the ground is not always at 0

It's quite some time already, developers saying that z value is not required... And even before, standard is usually at 8, never at 0...

So guys, i was wondering if Niantic is able to detect bots because they start at a certain LAT and LON. Let me explain, here is an example: You set the bot coordinates to 41.8919300 lat and 12.5113300 lon(Rome), then start the .exe.
You keep the bot running for a few hours, then, the next day, you restart with the same coordinates. The bot follows the same path as last time, again and again. So, Niantic should be able to view who is using a bot.


And, anyway, is either possibile that the bots using the API are detected and flagged.


P.s: Greetings from Italy and sorry for bad english. ;D

you had chicken cutlet for lunch today, tomorrow you eate chicken cutlet again, you are a bot

Not all real phone actually response properly to POGO client, they have alot field during MITM dump, like gyroscope ,accuracy, magnetic , latitude,AR support etc. thats why POGO server not ban the bot due to inaccurate respond because real phone(ie. non flagship) also not always gave proper respond,
