Limitations

Currently, the bot only uploads images. This is due to the fact that it is using Selenium to interact with the Instagram web interface. The Instagram interface only allows for uploads of images. (currently looking into a way around this)

Caution

This project uses Selenium. What this means is that it does not use the Instagram API for posting, making Instagram think that it's a real user posting, BUT You should still be cautious by setting a reasonable wait time before posts. By default, this is set at 50 seconds. If you set it to something like 10 seconds, there is a chance that Instagram will notice bot activity.

TODOs

• Adding Imgur.com to the list of options to take images

• Ability to add your own files to queue. Kind of like those sites that charge you to schedule Instagram posts.

• Figuring out how to get videos to upload
