Instagram-CommentBot-For-Giveaways
This is the bot I used to win a 3d printer filament giveaway on Instagram.
Usually giveaways require you to tag other people, so I made a bot to tag people in the commments.
It works with macros on a browser.
Usage is simple:
- Configure
instabot.pyby changing:- Number of giveaways the bot will work for.
- The number of accounts needed for a comment.
- Prefixes (hashtags or words if needed).
- The main modifier key for changing tabs in the browser (Cmd for mac in safari and chrome, Ctrl for windows)
- Create a file named
names.txtand add account names (in seperate lines) you want to use in the comments. (e.g. @eyusufatik) - Run the bot with
python3 instabot.py. - Open up tabs for the giveaways (these tabs must be the only tabs in that window) and leave the pointer on the comment input box.
- Press
*to start the bot. - Press
-to stop the bot.
The bot doesn’t stop when it hits the Instagram per-hour-comment limit. I had written observer.js to try and see if I can catch the limit pop-up to make the bot stop, but I haven’t fully implemented it yet. The plan is when the pop-up is “catched” the js code will send some message to my bot over sockets and let the bot know it should go into cooldown mode. To be honest, I haven’t made any changes to the project in over a year and I don’t plan to; so this feature won’t be ever implemented probably.
