4 years ago Hi @sakarimov I will help you with this. I know that the documentation is missing, but let's fix it.
In order to use this tool, you need to set up two things:
- the language of your Facebook account(and maybe the same with Firefox to U.S. English). This is because to find out some elements on the website I have to use the text that is inside the element.
- If you want to use it with Instagram, you need to have your Instagram account linked to the Creator Studio tool.
Now let's go to code. You have to create a python file, in the examples, you have a file that you can use. In this file, you have to create a CreatorStudio object, and you have to pass to it the way you want to login. You have two options to login(choose one).
Log in with Email and password
cs_cli = CreatorStudio("YOUR_EMAIL", "YOUR_PASSWORD")
cs_cli.login()Enter with a Firefox session with a Facebook account already logged.
cs_cli = CreatorStudio("YOUR_EMAIL", "YOUR_PASSWORD", browser_profile_path="/home/arielsperduti/.mozilla/firefox/5gs2k9uib.default-release/")
cs_cli.login()Here you have to set up correctly browser_profile_path with the value where is stored you Firefox session.
And to start posting, just:
cs_cli.create_post(account=<Your instagram account/facebook page>,
message=<message>,
file=<Full path to a photo>,
schedule_options={
"date": <MM/DD/YYYY>,
"time": <H:MM A/P>
},
social_network="instagram")Also, I made a small update to the code, because there was a change with the interface. Update it before to try all this. And tell me what's happen.

i guess it's because the app failed to catch facebook login button in the first place, then directly catch instagram button
this is what i get in my terminal
