instagram-unfollowers

Who unfollowed you, who followed you, who doesn't follow you back, who liked your pics the most and who never? Don't worry I got all the answers. Also this can used for non-private users too.

i. information

This badboy creates a html file with information of:

• New unfollowers
• New followers
• Who is not following back
• Who liked your pics the most -- numerically of course :D
• Who never liked your pics

Note: Lite version doesn't check like related stuff.

[TODO]: Make a even lighter version that only checks new "not followed backs".

Note: Ultralight version only checks "new not followed backs".

Also you can check other profiles too. Of course they need to be public or your following.

ii. install and run

This project is based and forked from ahmdrz/instagram-statistics.

In order to install the requirement packages and run the progam. Type following to the terminal.

git clone https://github.com/ozkc/instagram-unfollowers

pip2 install -r requirements.txt

In order to use you need to get instagram id. It is different than username and just contains numbers. It can be learn from various sites.

ex: http://www.ershad7.com/InstagramUserID/

We see that instagram user id for nasa is 528817151

In order to use it you need to edit main.py

 #modify here                                                                
 insta = Instagram('usernamefoo', 'passfordfoo')                                   

After writing down the username and password run the program

python2.7 main.py foouserid

Write whoever you want to check. You or your Ex or nasa. Lets say you're checking nasa's account.

python2.7 main.py 528817151

And check html file with any browser. Firefox or elinks if you're working on the terminal.

iii. some ideas

If you have Raspberry Pi up and running in your home or whatever. You can make it send you a email at every once a while.

In order to send html output email with Mutt, download and configure your .muttrc according to your email provider. hen create a instagramReportEmail.sh

#!/bin/bash 

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/pi/instagram-unfollowers/main.py 528817151 
/usr/bin/mutt -e "my_hdr Content-Type: text/html" username@emailadress.com  -s "instagram report" < instagram-unfollowers/output.html

Alternatively since strange usernames can mess up html view of email reader, its safer to use output.html as attachment.

#!/bin/bash 

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/pi/instagram-unfollowers/main.py 528817151 
/bin/echo "brtyb github.com/ozkc" | /usr/bin/mutt -a "output.html" -s "instagram weekly follow report" -- username@emailadress.com 

And make sure you make it executable

chmod +x instaReport.sh

Check if that works and make sure you get the email. Now lets make it periodical. In order to make the linuxbox do some periodical tasks write

crontab -e

to the terminal. Following example uses Mutt to send email. It send email at every sunday at 4:16 pm. This line is added to the crontab file.

16 16 * * SUN /home/pi/instaReport.sh

And it's all good now.
