InstaPy is a Python-based automation library designed to manage social media engagement and audience growth. It functions as an automation bot that executes programmatic workflows to interact with platform interfaces, facilitating consistent activity such as liking, commenting, and following accounts.
The framework operates by controlling a real browser instance, utilizing document object model selectors to trigger interface actions. It distinguishes itself through configuration-driven execution, which allows users to adjust operational logic and interaction parameters via external files rather than modifying source code.
To maintain account activity, the tool incorporates heuristic-based rate limiting and randomized delays to simulate human behavior patterns. It also supports stateful session persistence, ensuring that authentication data remains active across multiple execution cycles while providing filtering capabilities to target specific user relationships and connection statuses.
