A bot that can send messages for you to Instagram users. Ever wanted to send hundreds of the same text message to a friend or several friends efficiently? Well, now you can! <-- Please make sure that they are ok with this first! Anything you do with this script is on you!
Note: This was a fun project for experimental and learning purposes.
Please do not use this for malicious behaviour, because YOU will be responsible!
-
Download the code from this repository
-
install the following module
pip install selenium
- Find the version of your Chrome browser in "Settings" --> "About Chrome".
Then install a Webdriver for Chrome that supports your browser's version
- Once your web driver has been installed, put it somewhere on your computer and copy and paste it's path (The path should start with C:\, E:\, etc.) onto line 31.
Example:
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe" # Step 4 of the installations instructions
If you are stuck on step 3 or 4, watch this short tutorial!
- Enter in your Instagram email, password, the recipient's username, the number of times you would like the message to send, and the message.
This starts on line 23:
myemail = "myemail@gmail.com" # Enter in your email for Instagram inside the quotation marks
mypassword = "myInstagramPassword123" # Enter in your password for Instagram inside the quotation marks
friendusernames = ["@friend1", "@friend2", "@friend3"] # Enter in the username of the recipient inside the quotation marks! To send this to mutiple users, seperate users by commas! Ex) friendusernames = ["@friend1", "@friend2", "@friend3"]
numoftimes = "1" # Enter in the number of times you would like to send the message to the recipient Ex) "2"
# The message being sent
message = "Hello, World!"
- This script first opens up "https://www.instagram.com/".
- Logs in for you by automatically pasting in the login credentials that you filled in on "Step 5" of the "Installation and Instructions" process.
- Once logged in, the bot will press the "Direct message" button on Instagram.
- It will then click on the "New message" button and paste in the first username in the "friendusernames" list.
- The bot will then click on "Next".
- Paste in the text in the "message" variable.
- Finally, the bot will virtually hit the ENTER/RETURN key on your computer and send the message!
- If you have multiple recipients, the bot will repeat step 4 and onwards!
