Welcome folks today in this post we will be building python selenium instagram bot to like posts and images using selenium. All the full source code of the application is shown below.
Get Started
In order to get started you need to install the selenium library using the pip command as shown below
pip install selenium
And after this you also need to download the chrome driver for selenium library here
Now make an app.py file and copy paste the following code

from selenium import webdriver from time import sleep from secrets import pw class InstaBot: def __init__(self, username, pw): self.driver = webdriver.Chrome() self.username = username self.driver.get("https://instagram.com") sleep(2) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(text(), 'Log in')]")\ .click() sleep(2) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name=\"username\"]")\ .send_keys(username) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@name=\"password\"]")\ .send_keys(pw) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//button[@type="submit"]')\ .click() sleep(4) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//button[contains(text(), 'Not Now')]")\ .click() sleep(2) def get_unfollowers(self): self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'/{}')]".format(self.username))\ .click() sleep(2) self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'/following')]")\ .click() following = self._get_names() self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("//a[contains(@href,'/followers')]")\ .click() followers = self._get_names() not_following_back = [user for user in following if user not in followers] print(not_following_back) def _get_names(self): sleep(2) sugs = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath('//h4[contains(text(), Suggestions)]') self.driver.execute_script('arguments[0].scrollIntoView()', sugs) sleep(2) scroll_box = self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div/div[2]") last_ht, ht = 0, 1 while last_ht != ht: last_ht = ht sleep(1) ht = self.driver.execute_script(""" arguments[0].scrollTo(0, arguments[0].scrollHeight); return arguments[0].scrollHeight; """, scroll_box) links = scroll_box.find_elements_by_tag_name('a') names = [name.text for name in links if name.text != ''] # close button self.driver.find_element_by_xpath("/html/body/div[3]/div/div[1]/div/div[2]/button")\ .click() return names my_bot = InstaBot('##instagramusername', "###instagrampassword###") my_bot.get_unfollowers() |
Now inside this python script we need to replace the username and password to automate the instagram bot to like the posts and images
Now run this python script by typing the below command
python app.py
