Presentation

IGopher is a new Instagram automation tool that aims to simplify the deployment of such tools and make their use more pleasant thanks to a TUI (Terminal User Interface) as well as a GUI (Graphical User Interface) powered with Electron.js!

Graphical User Interface

A beautiful, cross-platform and easy to use interface! Build with Electron.js and go-astilectron.

Come with Hot Reload functionality to apply configuration changes without restart ! Bot stopping and hot reloading are actions safe by waiting bot idle to execute.

Terminal User Interface

Automatic user fetching and message sending!

Thanks to the TUI you can easily use this tool on a not very powerful machine, in ssh, on a Vps or even on an operating system without graphical interface! The bot configuration is very easy thanks to the different configuration menus in the TUI. Parameters are managed and saved in Yaml files easy to edit manually! All dependencies are downloaded and managed automatically.

Easily configurable and easy to use thanks to his TUI !

Requirements

• Java 8 or 11 (incompatible with newer versions yet)
• For Windows:
  • [Optionnal] Windows Terminal -> in order to have a best TUI experience

Features

• Selenium webdriver engine 🌠
• Automatic dependencies downloading and installation 🌠
• Automated IG connection & message sending 🌠
• Users scrapping from ig user followers 🌠
• Scheduler 🌠
• Quotas & user blacklist modules 🌠
• Human writing simulation 🌠
• Fully and easily customizable through Yaml files or with TUI 🌠
• TUI (Terminal User Interface) 🌠
• GUI (Graphical User Interface) powered with Electron.js 🌠
  • Hot Reload functionality to apply configuration changes without restart !
  • Stop and Hot Reload are actions safe by waiting bot idle to execute !
• Many more to come ! 🥳

Check this Project to see all planned features for this tool! Feel free to suggest additional features to implement! 🥳

Getting Started

From release

GUI version:

1. Download and install Java 8 or 11 (needed for Selenium webdriver) and add them to your path (on Windows)
2. Download lastest release GUI executable for your operating system
3. Move the executable to a dedicated folder (it will create folders/files)
4. Launch it

• For the moment, on MacOS, you must move the .app to your Applications folder and execute the binary file located inside the .app one. It will be improved soon!

5. Configure the bot with your Instagram credentials and your desired scrapping and autodm settings.
6. You're ready! Just hit the "Launch" option on the dm automation page 🚀 IGopher will download all needed dependencies automatically, don't panic if it seems stuck. I will implement a download monitoring view soon 😄

TUI version:

1. Download and install Java 8 or 11 (needed for Selenium webdriver) and add them to your path (on Windows)
2. Download lastest release TUI executable for your operating system
3. Move the executable to a dedicated folder (it will create folders/files)
4. Launch it:

• On Windows, open a Windows Terminal in the folder (or powershell/cmd but the experience quality can be lower) and execute it: ./tui.exe or just drag and drop tui.exe in your command prompt
• On Linux or MacOS, open you favorite shell in the folder, allow it to be executed with chmod +x ./tui and launch it: ./tui

5. Configure the bot with your Instagram credentials and set your desired scrapping and autodm settings. To do that, you can use the TUI settings screen or directly edit the config.yaml file.
6. You're ready! Just hit the "Launch" option in the TUI main menu 🚀

From sources

GUI version:

With bundles

1. Download and install Java 8 or 11 (needed for Selenium webdriver) and add them to your path (on Windows)
2. Install Go on your system
3. Download lastest release source archive or clone the master branch
4. Launch bundle.sh script from the project root directory
5. Once done, you can find all generated executables in cmd/igopher/gui-bundle/output for all operating systems!

Without bundles

1. Download and install Java 8 or 11 (needed for Selenium webdriver) and add them to your path (on Windows)
2. Install Go on your system
3. Download lastest release source archive or clone the master branch
4. Launch it with this command: go run ./cmd/igopher/gui

TUI version:

1. Download and install Java 8 or 11 (needed for Selenium webdriver) and add them to your path (on Windows)
2. Install Go on your system
3. Download lastest release source archive or clone the master branch
4. Launch it with this command: go run ./cmd/igopher/tui
5. Configure the bot with your Instagram credentials and set your desired scrapping and autodm settings. To do that, you can use the TUI settings screen or directly edit the config.yaml file.
6. You're ready! Just hit the "Launch" option in the TUI main menu 🚀

Flags

IGopher have a flags system for debuging or to enable system feature. You can activate them by adding them after the executable call, for exemple to activate headless mode: ./tui --headless

There is the list of all available flags:

--debug
      Display debug and selenium output
--force-download
      Force redownload of all dependencies even if exists
--headless
      Run WebDriver with frame buffer
--ignore-dependencies
      Skip dependencies management
--loglevel string
      Log level threshold (default "info")
--port int
      Specify custom communication port (default 8080)

You can recover this list by adding --help flag.

Known Issues

[GUI] Microsoft Smart Screen block IGopher.exe execution

At the moment Microsoft Smart Screen block IGopher.exe from launching. To avoid that, you must whitelist IGopher. I'm currently investigating on this issue, I submitted my exe to Microsoft so we will see.

[GUI] Running the .app on MacOs does nothing

At the moment, you must move the .app to your Applications folder and run the binary file located in it. It can also block the execution since the app isn't signed yet. You can avoid it by launching it from terminal or by right clicking on it and open it.

Javascript error just after bot launch

This issue ofter happen with an incompatible Java version installed. Indeed, IGopher isn't compatible with versions of the JRE greater than 11 yet due to the use of Selenium 3.

Working Java versions tested:

• Windows: Java 8
• Linux (Manjaro): jre11-openjdk -> sudo pacman -S jre11-openjdk

If you find other problems, please open an issue. This is essential so that we can continue to improve IGopher! 😄

Is there something like randomizing the automated messages.

Like for eg. pick one of this group:

Instagram MASS DM feature - allowing multiple senders sending messages simultaneously

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow an +ADD feature under the account username and password section that allows you to add an infinite number (or a very high one, in the millions or 100'softhousands) of accounts to send the messages through.
Maybe adding an "account switcher", maybe after 6-10DMS, allow the bot to switch to the next account to dm, and continuing on and on as a cycle.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Haven't tested it yet ( I'm having an issue launching ) but maybe opening multiple windows of the bot. This is not optimal for CPU/GPU reasons.

Additional context
Any other way to add this feature and be able to send millions of DMs per day. Obviously having capacity, maybe 4Million DMs, but reaching for a number as high as humanly (or robotically) possible.

I really love this program and am very passionate about this.

Likes photos

Create likes by photos, by hashtags

Can't get past login screens, XPath selectors may be out dated

Describe the bug
Gets stuck at this screen and the login screen aswell

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Launch the app
2. Try to let Selenium login
3. Gets stuck looking for the login button but also gets stuck afterward if you manually navigate to the credential screen, the username and password fill no problem though

Expected behavior
Should find the login buttons and click them

Screenshots
It looks like the selectors for the login button are outdated, perhaps Instagram updated their ui?

The button's text is no longer 'Log In' but instead a child div within it now contains the text

Error output

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. iOS]
• Version [e.g. 22]

Additional context
The selector "//*[text()='Log in']/ancestor::button" seems to work for me

PROFILE+POST-SHARING/SENDING FEATURE & BLACKLISTING SCRAPER-LIKE FEATURE

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
POST SENDING FEATURE

• Add function that allows sender accounts to share/send Profiles and Posts of their choice (see below)

BLACKLISTING SCRAPER-LIKE FEATURE
A blacklisting feature that does the following (through scraping I assume)

• Scrapes the people the target accounts' (people we are scraping followers from) are following and blacklists them
• Scrapes the people following and are being followed by any specified account on instagram we want (outside of the targets and sender)

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Retrieving followers for user with only 2 followers

Describe the bug
I believe this is a regression for the following issue: #28, when fetching followers for a user with a small amount of followers (2 in this case), i get this error in the log:

Level | Message | Date
error | crashCh: Failed users fetching: Empty users result. Check logs tab for more details | 2022-08-21T13:01:02-04:00

I took out the account info from the logs just fyi, it's not actually missing 😄

Instant Reached End of Service

Describe the bug
I do not know if this is my own user error or something is just not working properly but no matter what settings I configure in the TUI or the .yaml file, it will not run the application. It downloads the dependencies without any issues and opens the Chromium tab, but the tab is blank and in the URL it just states "data:," as per the screen shots below.

Expected behavior
I believe that it should just run at this point but I must be doing something wrong or have a bad configuration.

Screenshots

This is all the TUI gives me, the Chromium window does not login to Insta or anything like that.

Issues on fetching followers

There are 2 issues,

1. The program opens up a browser but the size is default 740x360, which it won't open a followers dialog since the UI is in mobile UI and thus it returns the following error:
   Error during users scrapping from followers dialog box for 'emmabrown4288' user

It actually opens an overlapping element instead, so I changed the screen size to 1920x1080 for testing and it seems worked.
(I found this is optional since I can update the path for selenium instead of changing the screen size)

However, every time I run the program, there is always an error:
Failed users fetching: Empty users result. Check logs tab for more details

I doubted it was due to the followers dialog was not opened properly so I checked there is a function called "navigateUserFollowersList" and updated the path, finally it worked opening the dialog. However, it still returns the same error message about the empty users result

im getting this error and I do not press the login button myself, I am waiting but bot cannot find it

maybe have the text interface binary read the config files from the gui

If I store the text interface binary in the same folder as the gui exe, it does not read the already configured settings. (user/pass)
