Repost? #322

Had a quick question, occasionally I use a third party app called "Repost" to copy another users photo/video, and repost it on my profile. Is there something I can do to try to make my own?

I am still learning Python, have used the Instagram bot, but wanted to see what I could really do. If you have any suggestions, let me know!

Thanks Pursuit

Yes you can. 1) obtain media info using the bot, you'll get a json with some url 2) download the photo using the provided url, you need an external python library for this & copy caption if you want 3) use the bot to post the downloaded media
