The instagram-bot project is tool for automating various tasks on Instagram.

instagram-bot aims to automate tasks such as posting, liking, following, and more on the Instagram platform. While currently only the post_uploader.py module is available, additional modules will be added in the future to extend the functionality of the bot.

To install and use the project, follow these steps:

Clone the repository to your computer and go to project directory:

git clone https://github.com/alexsavenko/instagram-bot.git
cd InstagramBot

Install dependencies using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install playwright browsers:

playwright install

This module use headless webdriver (playwright) for interaction with Instagram trough login. For avoiding frequent login - application saving and reuse browser storage data in file insta_state.json (creates after first success login). For change this file storage path - edit variable INSTA_STATE_FILE in post_uploader.py (by default file is next to post_uploader.py)

1. edit params in demo_post_uploader.py

params = {
    'login': 'your_username',
    'pwd': 'your_password',
    'file': '/path/to/your/file.jpg',
    'caption': 'caption for post that will be uploaded'
}

2. run demo_post_uploader.py

python3 demo_post_uploader.py

You can copy the file post_uploader.py in your project folder and use it like in example:

import post_uploader as pu

login = 'your_username'
pwd = 'your_password'
file = '/path/to/your/file.jpg'
caption = 'Check out this awesome photo!'

# create post
pu.create_post(login, pwd, file, caption)
