InstaAutoComment

Automatically places a comment on specific users' new Instagram post.

Why was this made?

I was done with my sister always asking me to like and comment on her Instagram account so I made this.

Usage

Requirements:

Node.js
Typescript
git (optional)

Installation:

Download the files from the latest release or git
npm install

Configuration:

Compile the typescipt files by running tsc index.ts in your terminal
Make a copy of the file .env.example and name it ".env", fill the next fields inside the file:
- IG_USERNAME (optional): the username of the user you want to login with, if this is left empty you will get asked to provide it when running the program.
- IG_PASSWORD (optional): the password of the user you want to login with, if this is left empty you will get asked to provide it when running the program.
- TRACKED_USERS_USERNAMES: the username of the user you want to track and comment on their posts.
- COMMENTS_ARRAY: a comma delimmeted string with the comments options the program is going to choose from while commenting on a post.
- PUSHBULLET_NOTIFICATION: true or false. Whether you want to receive a notification via pushbullet when this program comments on someone's post. (You need a pushbullet access token)
- PUSHBULLET_ACCESS_TOKEN (required if PUSHBULLET_NOTIFICATION is true otherwise optional): A pushbullet access token needed to use pushbullet notifications.
You need to turn on post notification on the users you have specified in TRACKED_USERS_USERNAMES from your phone for this program to work.

Running:

node index.js If the IG_USERNAME or IG_PASSWORD are missing the program will ask you to fill them.
