Instabot.py robot star2
Instabot.py is an extremely light instagram bot that uses the undocumented Web API. Unlike other bots, Instabot.py does not require Selenium or a WebDriver. Instead, it interacts with the API over simple HTTP Requests. It runs on most systems, including Raspberry Pi.
Installation
- From PyPi (Stable):
python3 -m pip install instabot-py
- From sources (Bleeding edge):
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/instabot-py/instabot.py
Configuration
Run instabot-py --create-config command and a default configuration will be created in your current directory: instabot.config.yml . It should be modified according the needs. You can also run the bot with a different configuration file using -c flag: instabot-py -c myconfiguration.yml

The %username%.db file contains records of posts the bot has liked, and the users who has been followed/unfollowed.
The %username%.session file stores your session with Instagram to avoid re-logins each time you start the bot.
