Hello thank you so much for the script it has been a real eye opener for someone new to IM!

One issue though, while I am using the script it tends to skip a picture while in the list view on websta. For example if there are 10 pictues on the page, it will like 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 but skip over the others then proceed with the remainder of the script onto the next page. Any help is appreciated!

You're welcome!

You should have read all the comments before posting, I already given the answer twice in the comments:

Replace all numbers:

TAG POS=1
TAG POS=2
TAG POS=3
Etc...

By:

TAG POS={{!LOOP}}

For each line, and you're good to go

how would you modify this script to include an "@(username)" in the comment section for pointing towards a user? Trying to do this but keeps telling that there's an error at the Tag section and it's a syntax error.

Would you do that for one user or multiple users?

This seems like a good idea! Could you kindly post the script of this? Cheers

GOOD IDEA!! the script? do you have this one?

Ask @Steeze, it's his idea.

I'm testing this script right now and it's working great! Going to let it run for a bit on a test account to make sure Instagram doesn't actually pick up on it, but this is awesome. thank you so much!

However, I noticed the math may be off. In the original script, the wait between likes is 28 seconds. If to stay under the 100 likes per hour limit, you would need to adjust that to at least 36 seconds. (60 min x 60 sec = 3600 seconds in an hour. 3600 sec / 100 likes per hour = 36) At 28 seconds between likes, that's 128.57 likes per hour, which would be above the limit. Just a heads up! (If my math is correct)

Thanks for working script! Btw, don't you have "follow macros" for websta ?

Glade you like it!

That's funny, I made the exact same mistake when I first did it, from the start it's wrong, you can't multiply 60 minutes x 60 seconds, you have to divide them, we know that the limit is 100 likes per hour, 1 hour = 60 minutes, so we divide 100 (likes) into 60 (minutes), which make 1,6 (likes) per minute, and then divide 1,6 (likes) per 60 (seconds) which finally makes 27,7. I may be wrong too after all, but the bottom line is Instagram never blocked me from liking with this formula.

Yep, go to someone's followers page, and use this:

​

SET !ERRORIGNORE YESSET !EXTRACT_TEST_POPUP NO
SET !TIMEOUT_STEP 2
TAB T=1
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=CLASS:profimg&&HREF:/n/* EXTRACT=HREF
TAB OPEN
TAB T=2
URL GOTO={{!EXTRACT}}
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAG POS=1 TYPE=BUTTON ATTR=TXT:Follow
WAIT SECONDS=2
TAB CLOSE
SET !VAR5 NULL
SET !VAR5 EVAL("var randomNumber=Math.floor(Math.random()*56); randomNumber;")
WAIT SECONDS={{!VAR5}}

How would you make it comment with an @username? It would just be one username, for example a comment would be like:

"Love this picture! You should check out @username!"

Good looks! I also realized that I didn't account for the 60 seconds of downtime during the "refresh" step. After testing it all weekend this has been working great so once again, thanks!

Different question: By refreshing the page, it looks like Websta loads the newest posts with the hashtag you use. Is there a way for this to click "Earlier" at the bottom of the page instead to just load older posts with the hashtag? I'm targeting some hashtags that aren't as actively used but still relevant, so liking older posts would be of benefit.

How would you make it comment with an @username? It would just be one username, for example a comment would be like:

"Love this picture! You should check out @username!"

Before posting, you should have read all the comments, if you would have done that, you would have find the solution.

In the iMacros extension, right click on the .iim where you put the script, click Edit Macro, then look on the lines where the comments are and simply change them.

Note: If you want to use some comments with multiple words, you'll have to add <SP> as a space, here you want to comment "Love this picture! You should check out @username!" then in the script you'll have to write "Love<SP>this<SP>picture!<SP>You<SP>should<SP>check<SP>out<SP>@username!"

No need for the sass. Only asked because when someone else asked you responded

Would you do that for one user or multiple users?

and they never replied back so I thought it would be something different but apparently not. Thanks for the help though.

I'm happy for you

Actually, the line:

TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:Earlier

Does exactly this, it click on the "Earlier" button, so I'm afraid there is nothing to do :/

But that still true, if you had read the comments you'd find out that I already answered that. Plus telling you to read the comments isn't for sass, is to help you guys to learn. You're welcome.
