Automatically Repost Content From Instagram to Twitter

Automatically Repost Content From Instagram to Twitter

Ever tried sharing an Instagram post to Twitter, only to find out that all you tweeted was a link, and not the actual photo/video?

⚠ Humiliating 🤮
That could be literally anything. Nobody will click it.

InstaTweet shares the actual content of the post. Not just a link to it.

With InstaTweet, you can rest easy knowing that, although nobody will click the link, they’ll at least see what you posted.

…

What’s InstaTweet?

InstaTweet is a customizable tool to automatically repost content from Instagram to Twitter.

Simply create a Profile, configure the mandatory settings, and add_pages() to repost from

from InstaTweet import Profile

# Create a new (local) Profile
>>> profile = Profile('myProfile')

# Configure the mandatory settings (at minimum)
>>> profile.twitter_keys = twitter_api_keys
>>> profile.session_id = '6011991A'

# Add at least one Instagram page (user/hashtag) to repost from
>>> profile.add_pages(['the.dailykitten', '#thedailykitten'])

# Save the Profile [optional]
>>> profile.save()

Saved Local Profile myProfile

Once configured, the Profile can be used to initialize and start() InstaTweet:

from InstaTweet import InstaTweet

# Directly initialize with a Profile object
>>> insta_tweet = InstaTweet(profile)

# Or load a saved Profile by name
>>> insta_tweet = InstaTweet.load("myProfile")

# Run InstaTweet by calling start()
>>> insta_tweet.start()

As InstaTweet runs, its progress will be logged to console:

Starting InstaTweet for Profile: myProfile
Checking posts from @the.dailykitten
...
Checking posts from #thedailykitten
...
Finished insta-tweeting for #thedailykitten
All pages have been insta-tweeted

Okay… But Why? 😟

🐥 But Why? 🤨
InstaTweet has two main use cases: To automatically share your own Instagram posts to Twitter To automatically tweet new content from other Instagram users Regardless of your intention, InstaTweet will detect new posts from the users you specify, download them, and repost them to Twitter.

…

Other Use Case: The InstaClient

The package’s custom InstaClient can also be used as a standalone Instagram scraper

from InstaTweet import InstaClient

>>> ig = InstaClient(session_id="kjfdn309wredsfl")

# Scrape Instagram user or hashtag
>>> user = ig.get_user('dailykittenig')
>>> hashtag = ig.get_hashtag('#dailykitten')
>>> print(user, hashtag, sep='\n')

Instagram User: @dailykittenig
Instagram Hashtag: #dailykitten

# Download most recent post
>>> post = user.posts[0]
>>> print(post)
>>> ig.download_post(post)
