There already is InstaPy, which works on Instagram web version. Unfortunately, Instagram bots detection system has become very suspicious to browser actions. Now InstaPy and similar scripts work at most an hour, then Instagram blocks possibility to do any actions, and if you continue using InstaPy, it may ban your account. There is also Insomniac which is the origin of this project, but they decided to charge a monthly fee for features that used to be free and we wanted to keep this project completely free and open source.
Our objective is to make a free solution for mobile devices. Instagram can't distinguish bot from a human when it comes to your phone. However, even a human can reach limits when using the app, so don't fail to be careful. Always set --total-likes-limit to 300 or less. Also it's better to use --repeat to act periodically for 2-3 hours, because Instagram keeps track of how long the app works.
We have a Discord server which is the most convenient place to discuss all bugs, new features, Instagram limits, etc.
