# Micro Services
You can start and use the micro services on it's own. They are located at app/Services/Content.
## statistics
Returns different information from a Instagram account:
* timestamp
* username
* follower_count
* following_count
* media_count
* usertags_count
* feed_items
* likes
* comments
#### Usage
```python
from Services.Content import Statistics
username = 'someusername'
res = Statistics.getUserInformation(username)
```
Use carefully on users with a lot of posts (1000+), long duration loading times and potential ban of the parser account, because of to many API calls: about one for each ~18 posts.
#### Results
The received data gets returned and written into savedStatus/userinformation.json.
## Content Services
### grabcomments
Grabs different comments for a specified topic.
##### Usage
```python
from Services.Content import Comments
topic='dog'
maxpp=2
num=10
res = Comments.getComments(topic, maxpp, num)
```
Where topic is your specified hashtag, maxpp is the number of comments grabbed per picture and num is the overall number of comments which get returned.
##### Results
The received data gets returned and written into savedStatus/comments.json.
### generateHashtags
Finds similar hashtags to one given hashtag.
##### Usage
```python
from Services.Content import Hashtags
topic= 'dog'
amount= 15
res = Hashtags.generate(topic, amount)
```
#### Results
The received data gets returned and written into savedStatus/hashtags.json.
### generateImages
Finds similar hashtags to one given hashtag.
##### Usage
```python
from Services.Content import Images
topic= 'dog'
res = Images.generate(topic)
```
##### Results
The received image links gets returned and written into savedStatus/images.json.
## Scheduling Services
### HumanScheduler
The HumanScheduler adds some random delay between executed tasks
##### Usage
```python
from Services.Scheduling import HumanScheduler
from Services.Tasks import InstaPySession
Tasks = [InstaPySession.InstaPyTask, InstaPySession.InstaPyTask, UploadImage.uploadTask]
HumanScheduler.mainloop(Tasks)
```
### SleepJob
The SleepJob stops the bot in the evening and wakes him up in the morning like a real human.
##### Usage
```python
from Services.Scheduling import SleepJob
from Services.Scheduling import HumanScheduler
from Services.Tasks import InstaPySession
Tasks = [InstaPySession.InstaPyTask, InstaPySession.InstaPyTask, UploadImage.uploadTask]
SleepJob.start(HumanScheduler.mainloop, Tasks)
```
This is used as another layer around the HumanScheduler
### Upload Image Service
This service uses gathered data to make posts. This can be a Task for the Scheduler
#### Usage
```python
from Services.Tasks import UploadImage
UploadImage.uploadTask.run()
```
The following code will access the saved data under ./app/savedStatus -> So make sure hashtags and Images have already been generated.
