Hey there,
Yes, InstaPy is under active development by its team, but there might be some changes to the function usages (for example they replaced some CamelCase arguments with their snake_case alternatives and deprecated some arguments or replaced them with the new ones)
You can read more about their API's at their GitHub page.
BTW, you can always use their official electron app and configure your bot using it.
Regards

Of course it works, when Instagram changes somethings and if that breaks the bot, you just have to wait a week or so and they will most likely fix it by that time. For free! That's why social coding and open source is so awesome.

Can you set this bot to follow people that liked a specific photo on a specific page?

I can't get this to work as I'm getting a bunch of errors. Done most of the bug fixes, but now left with 3 things that won't run it.

The link for the bot in this post is outdated. Try setting up the current version:
