InstaFollow

A small Ruby script to help you backup your following accounts from one Instagram account from another.

Use Case:

Are you worried that Instagram might "randomly"[1] delete your account?

You can always make a new backup account, but how will you follow all your favorite accounts again?

Manually? No, save your fingerwork for something better.

Just let a computer follow those accounts for you!

[1] This is not pure randomness as experts might argue.

How to Use:

1. Set up an your login information as enviornment variables in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc file, like this:

export INSTAFOLLOWUSER='(Your username)'
     
export INSTAFOLLOWPW='(Your password)'

2. cd to this directory

3. Make a list of accounts you want to follow in list file (located in repository). For each account you want to follow, write it in a new line.

Example:

github
bigdataguru
thecodergeek
programmerplus
coolandsmartrr

4. Run this line in terminal:

ruby main.rb
