Web implementation of the Instagram Like Bot in Flask. I though of calling it Renee since my previous project is reborn through this. However, I have a fetish for names ending with the "e" sound (yes, the syllable).

Callie is simply a web implementattion of [this](https://github.com/kevinam99/Instagram-Like-Bot) project created by me a few months ago. I thought of making a web version of this so it is easy to show it to anyone, anywhere.

The [`master`](https://github.com/kevinam99/Callie/) branch contains development from localhost and everything works perfectly. The production version is in the [`heroku`](https://github.com/kevinam99/Callie/tree/heroku) branch. Callie has been deployed [here on Heroku](https://callie-kevinam99.herokuapp.com/).

There are a lot of problems while running the app on Heroku. I tried umpteen Firefox and Geckodriver buildpacks but nothing worked. So I decided to use the Chrome webdriver, but still there are issues creeping up.

The `master` uses Firefox webdriver and `heroku` uses Chrome webdriver from ``` Selenium ```. 

## Usage:

1. Start a Python virtual environment (Preferably using pipenv)

2. Install the packages using the command ```pipenv install```.

3. Once the packages are installed start the bot by entering either ```flask run``` or ```gunicorn run:app```.

## Stack

- Python 3.6

- Flask 1.12
