Whether a Pure automation tool is safe depends on how it operates, not whether it automates. Here is the specific explanation of why OnlyLike does not trigger Pure's ban detection systems.
What actually causes bans from automation
Pure bans automation tools that:
- Call Pure's API directly — generating server-side traffic that looks nothing like a browser session
- Use extracted access tokens to authenticate — bypassing the normal login flow
- Generate unnaturally uniform behavioral patterns — identical timing, no variation between actions
- Route traffic through non-residential IP addresses — VPNs, datacenter proxies, shared servers
Why browser-based automation avoids these triggers
OnlyLike runs inside your browser as an extension. From Pure's perspective, every interaction looks identical to a human user browsing the Pure web interface:
- Same browser fingerprint as your normal sessions
- Same IP address as your normal sessions — your home or mobile connection
- Randomized action timing that matches human behavioral biometrics
- No separate API calls — all requests go through the browser's standard request pipeline
According to Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework and similar Android policies, apps cannot inspect browser extension behavior — they only see the resulting network requests, which are indistinguishable from manual use.
