Instagram updates bot is a in-development Laravel-based Telegram bot to send updates from instagram profiles.
You will need:
- php >= 7.1.3
- composer
- yarn
- MySQL or MariaDB
- A Telegram bot
You have to clone the repository and cd in the cloned directory:
git clone https://github.com/LBreda/instagram_updates_bot.git
cd instagram_updates_bot
Then you can copy .env.example to .env, and setup the bot. The file is pretty self-explanatory. You can avoid to set the APP_KEY
Once you set up the application, you can install it:
composer install
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan igud:set-webhook
To run the instagram profiles check, you have to add the command php artisan igud:check-send to your crontab. For example, you can check for new posts every 15 minutes by adding to your crontab:
*/15 * * * * cd /path/to/cloned/directory && /path/to/php artisan igud:check-send
You also have to make the /public direcory available on a web server.
Have fun!
