Automation Script for "farming" Likes, Comments and Followers on Instagram.
Implemented in Python using the Selenium module.
from instapy import InstaPy
InstaPy(username='test', password='test')\
.login()\
.set_do_comment(True, percentage=10)\
.set_comments(['Cool!', 'Awesome!', 'Nice!'])\
.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])\
.set_dont_like(['food', 'girl', 'hot'])\
.set_ignore_if_contains(['pizza'])\
.like_by_tags(['dog', '#cat'], amount=100)\
.end()
It's easy to use and the built in delays prevent your account from getting banned. (Just make sure you don't like 1000s of post/day)
cd InstaPy
pip install .
or
cd InstaPy
python setup.py install
If you want the script to get the username and password for your environment, you can do:
export INSTA_USER="<Your username>"
export INSTA_PW="<Your password>"
from instapy import InstaPy
#if you don't provide arguments, the script will look for INSTA_USER and INSTA_PW in the environment
session = InstaPy(username='test', password='test')
session.login()
#likes 100 posts of dogs
session.like_by_tags(['#dog'], amount=100)
session.like_from_image(url='www.instagram.com/image', amount=100)
session.end()
#searches the description for the given words and won't
# like the image if one of the words are in there
session.set_dont_like(['food', 'eat', 'meal'])
#will ignore the don't like if the description contains
# one of the given words
session.set_ignore_if_contains(['glutenfree', 'french', 'tasty'])
#default enabled=False, ~ every 4th image will be commented on
session.set_do_comment(enabled=True, percentage=25)
session.set_comments(['Awesome', 'Really Cool', 'I like your stuff'])
#default enabled=False, follows ~ every 10th user from the images, times=1 (only follows a user once (if unfollowed again))
session.set_do_follow(enabled=True, percentage=10, times=2)
#will prevent commenting on and unfollowing your good friends (the images will still be liked)
session.set_dont_include(['friend1', 'friend2', 'friend3'])
#unfollows 10 of the accounts your following -> instagram will only unfollow 10 before you'll be 'blocked for 10 minutes' (if you enter a higher number than 10 it will unfollow 10, then wait 10 minutes and will continue then)
session.unfollow_users(amount=10)
Note: Head over to https://developer.clarifai.com/signup/ and create a free account, once you're logged in go to https://developer.clarifai.com/account/applications/ and create a new application. You can find the client ID and Secret there. You get 5000 API-calls free/month.
If you want the script to get your Clarifai_ID and Clarifai_Secret for your environment, you can do:
export CLARIFAI_ID="<ProjectID>"
export CLARIFAI_SECRET="<Project Secret>"

#default enabled=False , enables the checking with the clarifai api (image tagging)
#if secret and proj_id are not set, it will get the environment Variables
# 'Clarifai_SECRET' and 'CLARIFAI_ID'
session.set_use_clarifai(enabled=True, secret='xyz', proj_id='123')
# uses the clarifai api to check if the image contains nsfw content
# -> won't comment if image is nsfw

#checks the image for keywords food and lunch, if found,
#comments with the given comments
session.check_image_for(['food', 'lunch'], comment=True, comments=['Tasty!', 'Yum!'])
