What is InstaWebhooks?

InstaWebhooks is a Python package CLI that allows you to monitor Instagram accounts for new posts and send them to a Discord webhook. It is designed to be simple to use and easy to set up, with a focus on customizability and ease of use.

Internally, InstaWebhooks uses Instaloader to fetch Instagram posts and Discord Webhooks to send messages to Discord via requests which happens to be the same dependancy Instaloader uses. It uses argparse for the CLI and logging for logging.

Example

Below, InstaWebhooks is monitoring the Instagram account raenlua for new posts and sending them to a Discord webhook every 30 minutes and sends a message to Discord with the post URL and the owner's name.

$ instawebhooks -i 1800 -c "New post from {owner_name}: {post_url}" raenlua https://discord.com/api/webhooks/0123456789/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
