🔥 Fastest & Simplest Python Package For Instagram Automation

Project description

🤖 Ensta - Simple Instagram API

PyPI PyPI - Python Version Downloads Twitter Share

This package lets you use Instagram's Internal Web API through simple functions and classes. Ensta uses Instagram's Original Web API to scrape data which makes it a reliable choice over other third-party scrapers. This library mainly focuses on Simplicity & Reliability.

Two type of classes are supported - Guest & Host.

📢 Announcement

Users can now log in through their Username and Password to generate SessionId! See this

Installation

To install this package using Python's PIP, run this command in a terminal window:

$ pip install ensta

To update the existing package, run:

$ pip install ensta --upgrade

🧔🏻‍♂️ Guest Mode

This mode doesn't require login and can be used to fetch publicly available data from Instagram's Servers. Following methods are supported till now:

  • Check if username is available for registration
  • Fetch someone's profile data
  • Convert username to userid
  • Convert userid to username

Here's an example where an instance of Guest Class is created to fetch Cristiano Ronaldo's profile information:

from ensta import Guest

guest = Guest()
profile = guest.profile("cristiano")

if profile is None:
    print("Something went wrong.")
else:
    print(profile.biography)
    print(profile.follower_count)
    print(profile.following_count)

🧔🏻‍♂️ Host Mode

Host mode requires login through SessionID, which should be passed as an argument during initialization. It can be used to take actions that require login. Additionally, users can manage their own profile through this class.

These are the methods supported till now:

  • Check authentication status of the user
  • Follow/unfollow users
  • Fetch someone's follower/following list
  • Switch account type - 'Public' or 'Private'

Here's an example where an instance of Host Class is created to follow Cristiano Ronaldo's account:

from ensta import Host, NewSessionID

sessionid = NewSessionID("username", "password")

host = Host(sessionid)
status = host.follow("cristiano")

if status is None:
    print("Something went wrong.")
else:
    if status.following:
        print("Following!")
    
    elif status.follow_requested:
        print("Requested to follow!")

Note:

When you create a new sessionid through NewSessionID(), it's recommended to save it somewhere, and use the same sessionid (instead of creating a new one each time you need) until it expires or becomes invalid.

This should be done to avoid unnecessary prolonged wait time while generating a new sessionid and also to prevent getting your account from getting flagged because of repetitive logins.

📋 Remember

Every function should return None on failure. So, it's recommended to add an if statement before using the actual data to avoid TypeErrors. Here's an example:

from ensta import Guest

guest = Guest()
available = guest.username_availability("cristiano")

if available is None:  # 'None' indicates failure
    print("Something went wrong.")
else:
    print(available)
