    Instagram automation

    using Python and Selenium


    Introduction
    • Automating social media platform Instagram
    • Instagram is one of the leading social media apps today. You yourself
    must have had some experience in using Instagram
    Objective

    • Most often we all are tired of doing basic tasks repeatedly


    • By this project we have tried to automate some tasks such as liking
    following and exploring instagram using web automation
    • Also we designed a scheduler which will help to schedule these tasks
    Why web automation?

    • Web automation today is a goto solution for testing an application, but it


    also has various other use cases like automating redundant processes for
    digital marketers and SEO specialists
    • Also, we can use automation to gather data for a particular business page,
    helping them with better user engagement by helping them figure out their
    audience's sentiment using NLP analysis on comments
    Software and libraries used

    • Python as scripting language for automation script


    • Used tkinter of building scheduling interface
    • Selenium for web crawling and automating browser
    • Chrome webdriver for chrome version 94 .
    • Anaconda comtymand prompt for execution
    Hardware used

    ● Operating System: Windows 7,8,10.


    ● Memory Required : 4GB Ram or higher.
    ● Processor: Intel core i5/i3.
    Project architecture

    This Product Architecture consists of stages as follows:


    • Firstly user will enter login credentials and desired inputs to schedule the
    task
    • Thereafter scheduler will run the script
    • Then script will login to the provided account using login credentials
    • Then it will explore and performs desired actions and navigate back to main
    home page and resets scheduler

    Automating
    tasks
    High level approach

    • The main aim is to perform is to automate user interaction with Instagram


    • Firstly we need to automate the login process, which includes entering username,
    password and clicking login button
    • Next, we need a starting point to begin scraping, there are many choices for this, for
    example, explore page
    • Now when we are at the explore page, we will try to go through the posts one by one and
    then perform a set of tasks, which are liking, commenting, following, and saving. To
    achieve these we will use selenium webdriver tools to perform browser interactions such as
    clicking, scrolling, and typing, etc.
    Project work
    Setting up the environment
    and automate login into Instagram

    • Firstly we require a valid username and password for logging into Instagram
    • Then we will have to install certain dependencies such as selenium and
    chromedriver
    Using developer options

    • All the elements in a web page are html tags


    • We will use inspect element to find the class of desired elements such as
    photo save like etc
    • Then we will use chrome driver to automate the actions performed
    manuially
    • Creating script to automate the tasks
    • There after we will create a user interface for scheduler which is going to
    schedule tasks
    • writing script using various modules of python such as Tkinter, time
    selenium etc
    • Now when we are at the explore page, we will try to go through the posts one by
    one and then perform a set of tasks, which are liking, commenting, following and
    saving. To achieve these we will use selenium webdriver tools to perform browser
    interactions such as clicking, scrolling, and typing, etc.
    • While going through posts we will save the image/video URL of these posts, and
    then we will consolidate these URLs
