Cool Instagram scripts for promotion and API wrapper. Written in Python.
As you may know, Instagram closed its API in summer 2016. This Python module can do the same things without any effort.
Make sure you check out the example scripts here. Chances are, your desired functions are already there and ready to use. Examples include unfollowing non-followers, following competitor's followings and followers, liking posts of a specific hashtag, and more...
If you have any ideas, please report them in the Issues section or in our Telegram chat. Your contribution and support through stars and reporting issues will be highly appreciated. After all, this project is dependent on your testing and support. :)
Before you follow bot, make sure you run reset_following.py, it will allow you to reset your following to what you had before botting. Very helpful.
Install latest stable version or update current from pip.
pip install -U instabotFull installation steps for UNIX (Linux, macOS) users here. If you are Windows user, go to Windows installation.
Choose any script from examples and run:
python example.py
If you have any problems with the script, regarding any issue or inquiry, please ask questions in the Telegram chat.

docker build -t instabot .
Then run your image with an example or your custom script:
docker run --name instabot -p 80:80 -i -t instabot python examples/like_example.py
