Refactor code to use env variables and use time to run non stop #11

Closed AbhayAysola closed 3 years ago

AbhayAysola commented 3 years ago

I made three major changes to the code.

  1. Refactor variables like INSTAGRAM_USERNAME and WEBHOOK_URL to use environment variables instead of being hardcoded. This would make it easier to deploy in the cloud.
  2. I used the time library to make it so that the code runs every set interval. This can be configured using the TIME_INTERVAL environment variable. The interval defaults to 600 which is 10 minutes.
  3. I refactored the code to use an environment variable instead of a file to store the last image id. This can help when using AWS Lambda or similar platforms to deploy the code.

I hope you find these changes appropriate. Thanks for this wonderful program :D
