• Instagram account credentials (username and password)
• NodeJS Instagram API library

Setup

1. Install npm package to your local machine.

   npm i nodejs-instagram-api

Usage

Customize the script according to your needs and execute it to automate various Instagram interactions.

• Import dependency

const api = require('nodejs-instagram-api');

• Initialize InstagramLogin

(async () => {

  var username = 'your-username';
  var password = 'your-password';

  const instagramLogin = new api.InstagramLogin(proxyOptions=null, username, password);
  const loginData = await instagramLogin.login();

})();

{
  cookie: 'csrftoken=XXXXX; rur="XXXXX"; mid=XXXXX; ds_user_id=XXXXX; sessionid=XXXXX',
  username: 'your-username',
  password: 'your-password',
  x_ig_app_id: 'XXXXX',
  x_csrftoken: 'XXXXX',
  ig_did: 'XXXXX',
  x_instagram_ajax: 'XXXXX'
}

• Fetch and display profile information

(async () => {

  const webProfileInfo = new api.WebProfileInfo(loginData, proxyOptions=null, "target-username");
  const profileData = await webProfileInfo.getProfileData();

})();

• Fetch and display user feed data

(async () => {

  const userFeed = new api.UserFeed(loginData, proxyOptions=null, "target-username");
  const userFeedData = await userFeed.getUserFeedData();

})();

• Initialize InstagramLogin over Proxy

(async () => {

  const proxyOptions = {
    host: 'proxy-hostname',
    port: 80,
    username: 'proxy-username',
    password: 'proxy-password'
  };

  var username = 'your-username';
  var password = 'your-password';

  const instagramLogin = new api.InstagramLogin(proxyOptions, username, password);
  const loginData = await instagramLogin.login();

})();

• Followers and Following Lists

1. The FriendShip class is configured with relevant parameters, including a timeout of 5 seconds (secTimeout) and a page size of 200 (pageSize).
2. Asynchronous calls are made to retrieve the followers and following lists of the target user using the getFollowers and getFollowing methods, respectively.
3. Sample output

(async () => {

  // Extract the target user's ID from the profile data
  // Create a new instance of the FriendShip class with relevant parameters
  const webProfileInfo = new api.WebProfileInfo(loginData, proxyOptions=null, "target-username");
  const profileData = await webProfileInfo.getProfileData();
  const targetUser = profileData.data.user.id;
  const friendShip = new api.FriendShip(loginData, null, targetUser, secTimeout=5, pageSize=200);
  // Use asynchronous calls to get the followers and following lists
  var followers = await friendShip.getFollowers();
  var following = await friendShip.getFollowing();
  
})();
