Ensta 1.4

Simple & Up-to-date Instagram API

Ensta

This package lets you use Instagram's Internal API (Web API) through simple methods and classes.

It supports two type of classes - "Guest" and "Host"

Installation

Open a terminal window and run this command:

pip install ensta

Guest Mode

It doesn't require any type of login and can be used to fetch publicly available data like Profile Information, Username Availability etc.

from ensta import Guest

guest = Guest()
biography = guest.get_biography("username")

print(biography)

Host Mode

It requires login and can be used to manage your account or fetch information not available without logging in.

from ensta import Host

sessionid = "12345678:abcdefgh"  # Copy SessionId from cookies

host = Host(sessionid)
result = host.follow_username("username")

print(result)

Session ID

To get your instagram SessionId, run the fetch-sessionid.py script.

Alternatively, you can follow these steps if the above method didn't work for you:

• Open instagram.com in your browser
• Open DevTools (Ctrl + Shift + I)
• Go to Application tab
• Expand Cookies tab, and click on the first item
• Here you will find your Instagram User's current sessionid.
• Copy it and pass it as an argument whenever you are using the Host Class.
