# Insta-Bot

> An Instagram Bot developed in Python with Selenium which uses the follow back principle to bring you followers gradually.

## Increase your Instagram followers gradually
This bot is made to build an audience.
It's not a bot that will directly bring you thousands of followers but maybe dozens of them every days.
The principle is simple, the bot will search, thanks to a list of defined tags, for random posts on Instagram. For each post, the bot will like, comment and follow the author.
As with Twitter, many users often follow the people who follow them.
This bot therefore works on the « follow back » principle.

## How to use InstaBot

### 1. Prerequisites
To be able to run this little bot, you’ll need to have:
* Python
* Selenium
* Chromedriver or Geckodriver
* Google Chrome (English version) or Mozilla Firefox

**Install Python**

If you don't have python installed, follow [this link](https://www.python.org/downloads/) and download the latest version of python.
Then you can check if your version of python using the command lines bellow
```shell
python3 --version
pip3 --version
```

**Install Selenium**

Then you need to install [selenium](https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/installation.html) using pip
```shell
pip3 install selenium
```

**Install you driver**

Depending of the browser you use, install [Chromedriver](http://chromedriver.chromium.org) or [Geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver) and put the binary file in the `src/` folder.

### 2. Configuration
These two lines are designed to authenticate you on Instagram. Basically  change **your_username** and **your_password** to your Instagram credentials in the `src/start.py` file.
```python
account_name="your_username"
account_password="your_password"
```
This is the hashtags your bot will reach to find random posts and persons to comment / like / follow.
Change this line with your custom tags, here I’m using **trip**, **dronephotography** and **traveler** tags.

```python
hashtag_list = ['trip', 'dronephotography', 'traveler']
```

### 4. Install all libraries

```shell
pip3 install -r src/requirements.txt  
```
