Auto like my gf Instagram pics

Bot to automatically like your friend's Instagram post and notify you on your Slack channel.

Practical use cases

• You are like me. You don't have time to check social media and you want to give attention to someone so that she notices you.
• You are in a relationship. Your girlfriend is constantly nagging you for not being the 'first-one' to like her Instagram pics.

How it works ?

This script runs Instagram API every 15mins (Crone Job) and checks for any new Instagram post for a paticular user_id. If a new a post is found it likes the post and sends a notification to your configured Slack channel using Slack Webhooks.

Installation

• git clone https://github.com/gulzar1996/auto-like-my-gf-insta-pic
• npm install
• create a .env file (you must set accessToken, user_id (Target user id) from Instagram Developer API and slack_url from Slack Webhooks ) as shown. This would assure that your keys are secured and index.js file is untouched.
• npm start (run the app)

Like all the recent instagram post (test)

 GET http://localhost:3000/run

Deploy to Heroku

• cd auto-like-my-gf-insta-pic
• heroku login
• heroku create (add heroku to project)
• git push heroku master (deploy to heroku)
• heroku ps:scale worker=1 (start dyno worker)

Heroku will generate a url for you

  http://<HEROKU_URL>.herokuapp.com/run

Setting up Crone Job

• create an account cron-job.org
• create a cronejob
• paste the url http://<HEROKU_URL>.herokuapp.com/run in address
• schedule every 15 mins
