Hi,

I've registered on this forum in order to find a suitable solution to boost my freshly created instagram account. Basically I was looking for the best bot out there.
After testing instagress, I just realized that, as a developper I should be able to implement one my self....

Spent a bit of time looking around for a solution to deal with instagram API limitations (i.e.: cannot register an app doing likes and comments unless you are a registered company with proper use cases for your application) and I finally came up with my own solution.

Long story short, here are the features implemented so far:
* Windows application
* Respect of instagram API limitations (hourly requests/likes/comments/follow)
* Search by Tags
* Like random amount of pictures based on parameters such as :
- Tags
- Minimum likes count
- Maximum likes count
- No other interaction with user over the last hour (like/comment)
- API limits
* Comment random amount of pictures based on parameters such as:
- Minimum likes count
- Maximum likes count
- Spintax built sentences (multiple possible comments based on regular expression)
- API limits
* Follow user randomly based on predefined tags
- User for which a like / comment on picture was made over the last hour
- Auto like few pictures of newly followed used (increase interest in your profile)
* Mass unfollow users
- Unfollow users not following you
- Ratio parameter (ex: unfollow 10% of users non following you)
- White list
* Settings Fully customizable
* Real-time display of account status (followers / followings)
* Single Instagram account ONLY
* No proxy required
* Trace logs, realtime

I'm actually looking for your opinions:
- Do you think any important feature is missing here?

Once I'll feel ready for it, I will also need some beta testers and I would be willing to distribute the application freely (fully working for a limited period of time).

Thank you for your time reading me, and eventually for your feedback.

Saur

Here are some logs generated by the application (I've removed concerned pictures and users Id).
The spintax sentences used is pretty much the same as the one on Instagress website (only added a couple more options).

And here is a screenshot of the app itself. As of now, the settings are only editable through a txt file (JSon format).

Can I get a license for review please?
 
Great that you created another bot. But the things we need from a Instagram bot isnt possible with the Instagram API. We need to post & schedule images and videos. We also need to have a feauture to use proxys, create and update accounts.

Bots like IGERSLIKE can do those things. They dont use the instagram API but they sort of reversed the instagram app so they can custom post to the servers.
 
My reply is getting blocked for unknown reason. In short:

BlueWaterLover: I'm only using instagram API to fetch new pics and user stats
I'll have a look about posting pics&videos as I doubt the third party api I'm using is allowing it.
Proxy wouldn't be too hard to implement and could eventually be done

peter02: not sure what you mean, the application is not autodiscovering new popular hastags if that's your question

Other interested user: please send me msg me and I'll let you know when I have a beta version ready for review

Sometimes when I add a photo with hashtags, like #fashion, I get an instant like from a non-follower.
Would be cool to automatically like every new photo with specified hashtag.
 
Awesome, sounds good for now. :)
Sent you a PM, buddy. Keep it up.
 
peter020: that's part of the bot indeed, you can also configure it to automatically like newly posted pictures only if they already have a minimum amount of likes.

- Follow/Unfollow accounts that don't have a profiles pics AND/OR have 0 posts

let me know when you release your beta
 
interested in beta testing, could you also include a log of the data extracted from CSV with a unique number on each

No proxy required meaning your application is meant for building up 1 ~ 4 accounts.
What are the current limits before they trigger a verification through message?
 
Since I can't send direct msg yet (sorry for people asking), here is a link for the first beta verson: [dropbox]/s/9cbtd6fom0zq2vt/Instamere.zip?dl=0
The application will only be working for 2 days starting now.

Any feedback welcome, hope you'll enjoy it.

Thanks,

Saur

Saur,

When you created this did you apply for access to Instagrams API to like and follow on behalf of someones account?

Or is this not done through the API and a user just logs in with their regular IG account.
 
Saur,

My app has its own client id and request for auth code for each user. Its client id is used to search for pictures and users.

Since I can't do likes and follows using my client Id, I'm using another way to post likes, comments and follow using a third's party api.

All requests are thus authenticated

That's the reason why ur credentials are asked twice when u login through the application.
Credentials are asked through instagram's authorisation request page and I'm not storing any of them.

raulchingon: link works just fine. Simply replace the [dropbox] part by proper website root url.
