InstaLike

InstaLike is an app designed to save you the time and the effort involved in handling an instagram account. InstaLike will Like posts and Comment a suitable comment on them.

How we built it

First, We established a server that runs our application using Python and Flask (a microframework for python which helped us handling with http requests) and wrote the website's pages using HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Then we've created a bot using Selenium Python API (an API for python Which mimics the behavior of a user in a browser). This bot has the ability to connect to instagram, like posts and comment.

Challenges we ran into

At the beginning we have worked with the Python API of Instagram. At 2 a.m. we discoverd that the API limits us and prevent us from post comments. we had to scrap all our work and start over this time using Selenium.

What's next for lnstaLike

InstaLike will know in wich gender to comment according to previous comments posted on the same picture. For example if the previous comments are: "Beautiful girl!" "Pretty woman" "My princess" it will addres the user that posted the picture in feminine words.

InstaLike will comment based on the picture's description

InstaLike will remember his clients preferences (using a Database): won't like posts of users who the client blocked, will comment only on the posts of users which the client commented on their posts before, will like posts in a certain delay which the client will decide, etc.
