Setup

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/marclave/InstaBot.git

run the following command to install the required libraries:

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Go to instagram clients Register your account for a developers client Retrieve your CLIENT SECRET and USER ID token under "Manage Clients"

To get your access token:

use the "Client ID" and "Redirect URL" from the previous step and go to this address on your browser:

https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=INSERT_CLIENTID&redirect_uri=INSERT_REDIRECTURI&response_type=token

You would get redirected to your redirect url with your access token:

http://REDIRECT.URL/#access_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_IS_HERE

now do the same thing with the following URL to authenticate likes on this Client ID:

https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=INSERT_CLIENTID&redirect_uri=INSERT_REDIRECTURI&response_type=code&scope=likes+basic

Modify the profile to include your information, example:

CREDENTIALS:
  ACCESS_TOKEN: "USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  CLIENT_SECRET: "USER_CLIENT_SECRET"
MAXLIKES: 1000 <- If you dont want a max, input NO_MAX
PERHASHTAG: 10 <- If you dont want a max, input NO_MAX
TOP: 1 <- To use the top hashtags on Websta.me use a 1
IP: "USER_IP_ADDRESS" <- run ipconfig or ifconfig to grab your ip address

Note: If you do not put a 1 in the value of TOP then the program will look for a text file called hashtags.txt.

The format for this file is to have each hashtag separated by line, example:

I
Love
Python

Then run:

python InstaBot.py
