7 years ago Hello @nicholaai,
I think you are doing just on thing wrong, your not importing it correctly. But after importing you will find another issue with the cookie. (For that i use an absolute path).
This is how I do it
import { V1 as InstagramClient } from 'instagram-private-api';
const device = new InstagramClient.Device('username');
const storage = new InstagramClient.CookieFileStorage('/Users/xxx/proyect/cookies/username.json');
// And go for login
InstagramClient.Session.create(device, storage, 'username', 'password')
.then((session) => {
// Now you have a session, we can follow / unfollow, anything...
// And we want to follow Instagram official profile
return [session, InstagramClient.Account.searchForUser(session, 'instagram')];
})
.spread((session, account) => {
return InstagramClient.Relationship.create(session, account.id);
})
.then((relationship) => {
console.log(relationship.params);
// {followedBy: ... , following: ... }
// Yey, you just followed @instagram
});Hope it helps.
Cheers.
First off, thanks for the repo!
I've been able to use it via a barebones node app but I was wondering if anyone could give advise on integrating this repo with Meteor. I did a fresh install of meteor + react and installed the package via npm. Created an event handler and within my main.js file in my server folder added the following (yes i've properly set username / pw / and added a cookies folder with the username json):
`import { Meteor } from 'meteor/meteor';
var Client = require('instagram-private-api').V1;
Meteor.startup(() => { // code to run on server at startup });
Meteor.methods({ testIg() { var device = new Client.Device('username'); var storage = new Client.CookieFileStorage(__dirname + './cookies/username.json'); console.log(
this is device: ${device}); console.log(this is storage: ${storage}) // And go for login Client.Session.create(device, storage, 'someuser', 'somepassword') .then(function(session) { console.log(this is session ${session}); // Now you have a session, we can follow / unfollow, anything... // And we want to follow Instagram official profile return [session, Client.Account.searchForUser(session, 'instagram')] }) .spread(function(session, account) { console.log(this is account ${account}); return Client.Relationship.create(session, account.id); }) .then(function(relationship) { console.log(relationship.params) // {followedBy: ... , following: ... } // Yey, you just followed @instagram }); } }) `I also tried using:
import { InstagramPrivateAPI } from 'instagram-private-api';With that, I get the following error:
