*Tags : Instagram, Chrome, Selenium, C#, .Net, Core, bot, robot*

## Requirement

- Windows, Linux or Mac
- .Net SDK 5.0 : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
- Chrome (not Chromium), or a Selenium server with Chrome clients

## Notes

- Selenium Chrome Driver must have the same version than your Chrome (change the lib version in the project if required)
- Don't be evil, else Instagram will delete your spamming account
- The solution is micro-service oriented, but Instagram will detected the spamming account if the bot is too fast
- If you want to publish without remote Selenium, add _PUBLISH_CHROMEDRIVER in the DefineConstants of the .csproj
- The account should follow at last one account, else the bot will fail to detect this
- About "Unusual Login Attempt Detected" : If the bot connect from a location, OS, Browser that you never used before, you will get this email code chalenge. Pass it before lauching the bot again. You can change the OS/Browser (Chrome/Windows 10 by default) with the --user-agent in the SeleniumBrowserArguments setting.
- Settings set by command line need to use : instead of __ depending on OS. Exemple : IFB_Logging:User

docker run --link seleniumContainer:seleniumhost instagramfollowerbot [email protected] IFB_LoggingSecret__Password=Passw0rd IFB_Selenium__RemoteServer=http://seleniumhost:4444/wd/hub
```
