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")

To get your instagram session id, follow these steps:

• Open instagram.com in your browser
• Open DevTools (Right Click > Inspect)

• 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.
