Overview
A Python bot that automates Instagram activity such as liking, commenting, following and unfollowing. It works through the Instagram website and needs only a login and password, so it does not depend on the official API, whose review process the author says blocked many apps. You configure daily limits and a tag list when creating the bot object.
Key features
- Likes media by tag, with a daily like limit
- Skips media that already has many likes
- Posts comments on chosen media
- Follows and unfollows accounts
- Auto mode loops through the configured tags
Best for
Developers experimenting with Instagram automation without API approval. Automated actions may conflict with Instagram's rules, so check them before use.
