Hi Folks

Jacks back with yet another imacro script for a popular social networking site, this time i have created, tried and tested an Instagram Follower Imacro script.

This script uses the popular Instagram browser found at statigr.am to find and follow users who have liked the most popular images. Now Instagram have placed a restriction of 200 followers per hour, so to effectively follow 1000 users per day you would have to run the script for 5 hours.

Unfortunately there is no way around this unless you don't use API.

My script is set at a delay of 1 follow per 10 seconds this works out at 6 followers per minute which is 360 followers per hour. Why have you set it like this when the limit is 200 per hour? This is because some of the accounts you will have already followed and some of the accounts on Instagram are private so you will not be able to follow those, so this shorter delay is to compensate for not following these accounts.

METHOD:

THIS IMACRO SCRIPT ONLY WORKS IN FIREFOX IMACRO PLUGIN

Open Firefox browser with Imacro plugin installed.

Log into Statigr.am with your Instagram details.

Then navigate to the populars section on Statigr.am found here:

Code:
http://statigr.am/viewer.php#/popular/

Now make sure you click on an image that has lots of likes, at least 1000 likes minimum (indicated by the number next to the heart)

On the page of your clicked image you will see the picture with several stats on the right, under the like section click the view all, so the bigger list of users who liked this image appear. (i think the max is around 200 shown users at any one time even though over 1000 users may have liked it)

Then run the following imacros script (set the max loop to 200)

VERSION BUILD=7401110 RECORDER=FX
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
SET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 2
TAB T=1
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:unLike&&HREF:#/user/*/ EXTRACT=HREF
TAB OPEN
TAB T=2
URL GOTO={{!EXTRACT}}
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:followAction<SP>user-relation-action&&HREF:#&&TXT:Follow
TAB CLOSE
WAIT SECONDS=10

What to do next?

After the imacros script has finished following the followers that have liked this image, then just simply choose another popular image with lots of likes and run the whole process again.

Whats quite good about this method is that you can actually choose which image to add followers from, so say your niche is pets you could follow users who liked a popular picture of a dog or cat.

NOTE:

I am currently working on an Instagram Unfollower imacros script to go with this follower script, unfortunately there seems to be a limit set in place by Instagram to prevent quick mass unfollows as well so this will be yet another slow and lengthy process.


ENJOY!
 
That code looks like it would work in regular imacros as well, not only the firefox plugin. Am I right? If not, what is the problem?

Google Chrome Imacros plugin does not support all commands and will not function with some of the commands in this script. I say FIREFOX only because this is what it was tested on.
 
Ok im going to include a simple unfollow script to help those to automate unfollowing users. I will create a better one when i have done more testing, as there is also an unfollow limitation put in place by Instagram.

This script will unfollow about 180 users per hour which seems to work pretty well. This script unfollows users your are following and i think a better process in future would be to unfollow users that have successfully followed you (this will be done with my next script). This will give the users you are following more time to follow you back before unfollowing them.

Method:

I would run the follow script on one day and get as many followers as possible, then wait 24 or 48 hours and run the following process.

Log into statigram with your Instagram details.

Navigate to your 'My followings tab' then run the following script. Set the max loop to 250 to be safe. (assuming you have followed more than this).

VERSION BUILD=7401110 RECORDER=FX
TAB T=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=IMG ATTR=SRC:/images/unfollow.png&&TXT:
WAIT SECONDS=20

This is epic!! I've been hoping a script like this would come out, you legend!!
By the way, this probably seems really noob, but you don't need to have proxies for this do you? I guess you don't as it is just using imacros, but I never know which things I should be using proxies for.
Thanks for the help!!
 
Another awesome script mister sparrow. I am a bit busy with other things at the moment but I will get back to use this soon.
 
How do I, instead of follow the users, like the first few photos of the users photos?



Thanks.

Just want to let you know that this isn't working for me on PC with Firefox, older versions or new. It works on the Mac just fine though.
