This Instagram bot automates the process of removing followers that you no longer want. The input is a list of usernames of the followers you would like to keep. This bot will slowly remove unwanted followers, respecting Instagram's restrictive policy for automated behaviors. It aims to behave as a normal user would.
Removing followers is not officially supported by Instagram's API. This bot uses Instagram's unofficial Web API.

KEEP_FOLLOWERS: [ 'bobmarley', 'snoopdogg', 'infectedmushroom' ]
CREDENTIALS: Your login info.TOTAL_LIKES: The number of followers you wish to be removed in one run of the bot. My suggestion is to not choose a value greater than 1000, as Instagram may suspect your activities and delete your account.
