You can get the ig instance (from instagram-private-api) and the use the following code:

const Insta = require('@androz2091/insta.js');
const client = new Insta.Client();

await client.login(username, password);

// ensure the client is logged in
if (client.user === null) {
  throw new Error("client not logged in, please log in first");
}

// get instagramId of target user
const handle = "targetUserHandle";
const targetUserPk = await client.ig.user.getIdByUsername(handle);

// send DM to user
const targetDirectThread = client.ig.entity.directThread([targetUserPk]);
const result = await targetDirectThread.broadcastText("hello world from bot");

References for these methods can be found in the instagram-private-api repo:

If you only need to send DMs without listening to incoming messages you can do this solely with the instagram-private-api.

If you want to respond to incoming messages see the instaJS basic example.

Hope that helps.

from insta.js.

Thank you for your answer, but you can still use:

client.fetchUser('davidguetta').then((user) => user.chat.send('hello'));

from insta.js.
