Hello! When i start the bot just send last pic to channel, when i send new post its doing nothing everytime i need to type "instagram-discord.py" to terminal for posting new image i dont understand why. Thanks for this perfect bot :)

For automatize process of posting new images, you must setup a cronjob that executes script every X minutes/hours, Example: https://www.activecampaign.com/help/setting-up-a-cron-job/

If you host your website in a CPanel or Plesk server, its very easy to create a cronjob.

i dont have a website :S just windows server. if i decided to change webhook to discord bot is it work well without cron job ? is that possible ?

If you are usnig Windows O.S. you can automate python script execution using Task Scheduler for example. Check: https://towardsdatascience.com/automate-your-python-scripts-with-task-scheduler-661d0a40b279

INSTAGRAM_USERNAME = "" # Example: ladygaga WEBHOOK_URL = "" # Url to your discord webhook DATABASE = "database.txt"

INSTAGRAM_USERNAME = "" # Example: ladygaga BOT_TOKEN = "" # Bot Tken DATABASE = "database.txt"

if i change like that is that work with bot without tasks or cronjob ?

A task or cronjob setup is a must to monitor new posts in Instagram.

I recommend setup scheduled task to execute script in your windows server.
