Instagram-uploader\nAs the name suggests, this is a simple bot written in ```NodeJs``` to automate the upload of a post on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/). \u003cbr\u003e\nThe bot has been made for the purpose of posting on meme pages like: \"SpongeBobEveryDay\", \"JoeRoganEveryDay\" and so on. \n\n## Installation\nClone the repo: \u003cbr\u003e\n```\n$ git clone https://www.github.com/sl1mSha4dey/instagram-uploader.git \n```\n\nNavigate to the repo folder and install the packages:\n```\n$ npm i \n```\nOnce you've installed the packages, all you need to do is to configure you ```.env``` file that you will need to run the program. \nYou can also not use the .env file, however you will need to replace all the ```process.env.CONSTANT``` occurences with the associated data.\n\n## Configuring the ```.env``` file\nCreate a file named ```.env``` into the repo folder and set it up like this:\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n \u003cimg src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/58223071/194145957-8105a177-7daf-4576-8e74-97b62a026ebc.png\" alt=\".env-configuration-pic\" /\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\n- IG_USR -\u003e your instagram username\n- IG_PWD -\u003e your instagram password\n- PHOTO_PATH -\u003e path to the file you wish to upload as a post\n- DAYS_FILE -\u003e path to the file where the bot will keep count of the number of the days\n- TIME_FILE -\u003e path to the file where the bot will save the last time it posted\n\n### Why ```TIME_FILE```?\nThe initial idea was to schedule the bot to post everyday at a certain time with the [```cron```](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cron) package in **headless** mode. \u003cbr\u003e\nSince Instagram somehow manages to block headless attempts to login I decided it was far easier to simple set up a basic activity in Windows and let the script run everytime the user logged in. \n\n## Usage\nOnce you've installed the packages and set up the .env file all you need to do is run the following command:\n```\n$ node index.js\n```\n\n## Contributing\nPull requests are welcome.
