social-media-automations 0.1.1

Async Python SDK for the social-media-automations Instagram Bot API

social-media-automations (Python SDK)

Async Python client for the Instagram Bot API — register handlers, call run_polling().

Install

pip install social-media-automations

For local development from a clone: pip install -e ".[dev]"

Quickstart

from social_media_automations import Bot

app = Bot(account_key="ak_...")   # your Account Key

@app.on_message()
async def on_dm(msg, ctx):
    await ctx.reply(f"Hi {msg.from_user.username}!")

@app.on_message(text="price")     # case-insensitive substring; or regex="..."
async def price(msg, ctx):
    await ctx.reply("$6/mo")

@app.on_comment()
async def on_comment(c, ctx):
    await ctx.reply_comment("Thanks!")

@app.on_postback(payload="book")  # exact payload; or regex="..."
async def on_btn(pb, ctx):
    await ctx.reply("Let's get you booked!")

app.run_polling()

Handler reference

• @app.on_message(text=None, regex=None) — DMs. text = case-insensitive substring; regex = re.search; pass at most one.
• @app.on_comment() — public comments.
• @app.on_postback(payload=None, regex=None) — button/ice-breaker taps (pb.payload). payload = exact match; regex = re.search; pass at most one.

Handlers are async def handler(obj, ctx). First matching handler wins.

Context (ctx)

• await ctx.reply(text) — DM the sender.
• await ctx.reply_comment(text) — public reply (comment handlers only).
• await ctx.send(to, text) — DM an arbitrary IG-scoped id on this channel.

Notes

• One channel must be in bot mode first (POST /bot/v1/setDeliveryMode).
• Polling is at-least-once; msg.id / comment.id are stable for dedup.
• Ctrl-C stops the bot cleanly.
