## Instagram Monitor / Scraper
Instagram monitor / scraper allows you to monitor user(s) activities without searching through the web. Simply follow instruction below to get started!
I have removed story monitor because of several reason, (1). I need to find better solution in dealing with rate limits, (2). I want to also separate both post and story monitor in their own respective repo. I will announce when I will upload the story monitor later.
### Installation
Instagram Monitor / Scraper requires the following...
- [Node.js (LTS Version)](http://nodejs.org/)
- [YarnPKG](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#windows-stable)
Quick start:
```bash
# Install dependencies
yarn install
# Run application
yarn run start
# To update code
git pull
# Add stuff in your config.json
{
"discord": {
"webhook_url": "",
"username": "Instagram Monitor",
"avatar": "",
"footertext": "",
"footericon": ""
},
"pollMS": 5000,

## Todo:
- [x] Ability to monitor any instagram accounts
- [x] Able scrape posts
- [x] Customizable Discord Embeds
- [x] OCR reader
- [x] Better way to rotate proxies
- [x] Added better error handling
## Note:
- Proxy Timeout is most likely proxy ban, so it will send a 503 status code meaning it failed to request page.
- Rate Limited means status 429, so it will fail to request page.
## Tips
- Recommend using proxies, it should be datacenter because I found out resi get ban very easily. (UNLESS you found unbanned resi proxies then sure.)
- Increasing your proxies pool will strongly avoid proxy timeout + datacenter been doing very good for me.
- Using more proxies, you can simply lower delay. (Go ahead and test first before setting it way low.)
