使用 Python 将图像上传到 Instagram

Question

I'm trying to do a simple Instagram python bot in order to upload images in my Instagram profile. I've already tried the most common libraries (InstagramAPI, instapy, insta-cly). While I was searching I found out that Instagram has changed something making those libraries useless.

Is there any library I can use? I know thatI can use Selenium in order to make it go but I'm wondering if there is any shortcut.

Trank you!

Answer 1

try this library: instabot https://pypi.org/project/instabot/

example of code for uploading an image:

from instabot import Bot

bot = Bot()
bot.login(username="instagram_username", password="your_password")

file = open('path_to_your_image', 'r')
bot.upload_photo(file, caption="your post caption")

Answer 2

Instabot python library allows you to upload images, stories, videos, make comments and much much more, but there are problems that are not resolved in other answers, so I wrote this code that takes care about all of that for you.

from instabot import Bot
import os
import shutil


def clean_up():
    dir = "config"
    remove_me = "imgs\img.jpg.REMOVE_ME"
    # checking whether config folder exists or not
    if os.path.exists(dir):
        try:
            # removing it because in 2021 it makes problems with new uploads
            shutil.rmtree(dir)
        except OSError as e:
            print("Error: %s - %s." % (e.filename, e.strerror))
    if os.path.exists(remove_me):
        src = os.path.realpath("imgs\img.jpg")
        os.rename(remove_me, src)


def upload_post():
    bot = Bot()

    bot.login(username="your_username", password="your_password")
    bot.upload_photo("imgs/img.jpg", caption="Caption for the post")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    clean_up()
    upload_post()
