A simple Node.js Instagram Bot using Puppeteer.js

This Instagram Bot will authenticate and login into your Instagram account. By providing a number of hashtags it creates engagement by liking posts and following users. It uses PouchDB as a local database to keep track of the users you are following and can unfollow users after a specific amount of days.

How to run the bot

• Download or clone this repo.
• Run npm install to install libraries.
• Update the config.json file with your credentials and hashtags.
• Run node index.js.

In depth guide

A complete guide on how the bot works is available here.

Additional info

• This bot does not support two-factor authentication.
• This bot relies on css selectors to navigate the Instagram website. These selectors are defined in the config.json. Once in a while Instagram pushes a new design and the selectors need to be updated. There's no guarantee this repo will always have the latest selectors.
• Use responsibly, running this bot 24/24 is not a good idea and will get your account suspended or banned.
