Installation

pip install ensta

Example

Fetching profile info by username:

from ensta import Mobile

mobile = Mobile(username, password)

profile = mobile.profile("leomessi")

print(profile.full_name)
print(profile.biography)
print(profile.profile_pic_url)

Features

These features use the Mobile API.

Using Proxies

When to use a proxy:

You're being rate limited.
Ensta is not working because your Home IP is flagged.
You're deploying Ensta to the cloud. (Instagram blocks requests from IPs of cloud providers, so a proxy must be used)

from ensta import Mobile

mobile = Mobile(
    username,
    password,
    proxy={
        "http": "socks5://username:password@host:port",
        "https": "socks5://username:password@host:port"
    }
)

Ensta uses the same proxy settings as the requests module.

Username-Password Login

Username is recommended to sign in. However, email can also be used.

from ensta import Mobile

# Recommended
mobile = Mobile(username, password)

# This also works
mobile = Mobile(email, password)
