Guidelines:
(1) Create a usernames.txt file in the DataSources folder of your iMacros installation. This folder normally can be found at c:\Users\YourWindowsUsername\Documents\iMacros\DataSources\. Place one username per line. This is the data source for all three macros.
(2) Change the file path in 4th line of the codes to the full path of your usernames.txt file you just created.
(3) Play the macros in loop. Loop count equals to the amount of usernames/lines in your usernames.txt file.
Neither of the macros require Instagram login.
Safety precaution: before starting the macros log out of your Instagram account and you might want to use a proxy/VPN too to not get your ip address blocked/rate limited or insert proper delays into the macros.
Disclaimer: I made these macros using the standalone iMacros Browser, they might not work with the Firefox or Chrome addon without modification.
