Insta - Private Instagram API for Python and .NET

Insta is a small wrapper built for giving private API access to python/.NET users. Implementations may include:

• Login Validation
• Upload pictures from cloud scripts
• Many, many more

Version

0.1.3 - BETA!

###Changes in 0.1.3 - Added certificate bypass for some experiencing cert issues with IG - Introducing Insta.cs, a .NET couterpart for use in .NET applications. Works flawlessly.

####Changes in 0.1.2 - Added GET functionality - PEP8 compliant and docstrings - Small optimization fixes

Usage

A simple usage example was provided within the pacakge. Simply import Insta from the Insta package, instantiate an instance of the Insta class with your username and password (or Facebook email and password), and then call the login function. It will return either -1 (fail) or 0 (success). This should not be used in commercial products, it does use the Instagram private API and therefore may or may not cease to work at some point. *Note: The point of this is to be as minimal as possible. I will more than likely not support functions like uploading images, searching, etc... as it just adds clutter to the module which is meant to be as a minimalist solution for developers to use.

Tech

Insta uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

*Python [requests] - HTTP Requests for humans! *.NET [RestSharp] - HTTP Library for .NET

Installation Python

You need to install the requests library

pip install requests

Installation .NET

You need to install the RestSharp library with NuGet

Install-Package RestSharp

Todos
