I've checked the recipes on IFTTT, but it appears only the otherway around (IG -> FB) is done easily. Anyone made it work with buffer or any other solution that manages to save some time?

Thanks!
 
Instagram requires a mobile device in order to post, auto-posting is technically not allowed. That's why you won't get it out of the "normal" white tools.

What you can do is open Instagram on a desktop computer, shrink the browser window or switch to mobile view to make it look like you're viewing from a mobile device. Refresh the browser window if it doesn't work instantly. Viola, Instagram in your browser with access to your PC file system - uploading photos / commenting is a breeze.

Next step you can automate it by either writing your own js script and running from the console, or use a chrome automation plugin to "record" and play it automatically.

I know there are some plugins on codecanyon as well, not sure if they work or not.

Good luck!

very helpful!
does this work with scrapping user followers?
I am trying to scrape all user followers with python without any luck. I think there is a restriction on the number of scrolls allowed for the browser. Is there any other methods for scrapping all of the user followers?
 
the very basic method is installing the simulators:

For Mac: install ARC wender and then install Instagram
For windows: install bluestacks and install Instagram

then use it as using it on mobile :)
