=> look for captionsPost list and add your instagram captions, tailor them according to your needs

=> the programme which choose a random caption for each post 

=> make sure you have a data.txt file in your script location

=> run the bot and see it do it's magic!

=> Bot should upload evrey 15 minutes OR more

Will my account get blocked?

=> unless you have a decent time between uploading posts you are good to go!

=> Instagram actually allows unlimited post uploads unlike other restricted things like liking , commenting / hourly basis after which you get rated limited!

=> in theory you could upload infinitley but that'd make lots of requests and get your insta blocked for few hours

=> Hence it's neccessary to have delay between posts.
