Instagram post scheduler

Some code using Puppeteer (headless Chromium browser) to schedule posting behavior on Instagram, useful for business accounts.

How to use

1. Run npm install

2. Set up ./config.json:

• username: your Instagram username
• password: your Instagram password
• upload_image: the filepath of the image to be uploaded (has to be a .jpg, and if the image isn't square, some parts will be cropped out). I have only verified single-image uploads and am uncertain what will happen if multiple files are provided.

3. Write the text caption to be uploaded into ./upload_caption.txt

4. Specify the datetime for posting in ./scheduler.py, then run python ./scheduler.py. This code was tested with Python 3.

Note: the Instagram terms of use I found were unclear on the use of automated posting; use this code at your own risk of being banned
