Alternative DM with Instagrapi

from instagrapi import Client from myInfo import my_password, my_username, receiver_username, message, time

log in to your Instagram account

api = Client() api.login(my_username, my_password) # if this line throws an error, then either your login info is wrong, OR instagram policies were triggered because you logged in too many times. If so, you need to manually login to your account and verify the account to proceed print('Logged in successfully!')

search for the receiver's user by username

user = api.search_users(receiver_username)

from datetime import datetime from time import sleep def send_message(message, user_id): while True: now = datetime.now() if [now.hour, now.minute] == time: api.direct_send(message, [user_id]) print('Message sent successfully!') sleep(60) # check the time every minute

if user: # if receiver's user is found send_message(message, user[0].pk) # user[0].pk = user_id else: print(f"No search results found for username '{receiver_username}'")

log out of your Instagram account

api.logout()
